Reviews
"Emotionally charged and compelling, Tell it to the Bees draws you into its world, a rich world of secrets and passion ... Fiona Shaw creates brilliant characters who stay with you long after the book is finished ... liberating and uplifting" -Jackie Kay "Shaw's writing is lovely: elegant, subtle and haunting" - The Times "Powerfully exposes the wrenches of prejudice. It is a tender and unlikely page-turner" - Financial Times "A memorable evocation of an era when homosexuality was a crime and abortion illegal ... a committed and thoughtful writer intent on using her gifts" - TLS
