Just finished The Bees by Laline Paull. Loved it.
My favorite have to read books of all time in no order:
1. The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck
2. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
3. The Egg and I by Betty McDonald
4. The Camerons Robert Crichton
5. The ladies of Missalonghi by Colleen Mccullough
I have hundreds but this is a great start.
