An important read told with compassion and knowledge,
a perfect choice for your book clubs * Prima Magazine *
This riveting tale reminded me of Picoult's earlier books in
the way it tackles some big issues. The twist halfway through is a
jaw-to-the-floor moment * Good Housekeeping *
The celebrated authors have collaborated to pen this unique novel
together... An emotional and enlightening read that won't fail
to surprise right to the end * Woman & Home *
From the author of The Book of Two Ways comes a
characteristically powerful and engaging story of
parent-child relationships as the owner of a beekeeping business
confronts the brutal murder of her child's lover * Waterstones
*
Suspense-filled Mad Honey is a thrilling book that
you won't be able to put down * CHAT Magazine *
This incredibly moving and thought-provoking novel, which
looks at identity, authenticity and the bond between a mother and
son, is brilliantly written and is a must-read - definitely one of
my favourites from 2022 * My Weekly Special *
I won't give anything away, but will say this is one massive plot
twist I did not see coming. It's wonderful on identity, change,
secrets, shame and starting over. I'm still thinking about it long
after the final page. Fabulous. * Daily Mail *
What begins as a family crime novel with themes of trust, betrayal,
abuse and fear becomes a poignant note on what it is to love
someone, and the ways we choose to live authentically... Commentary
about identity and motherhood is cleverly woven throughout, making
for an honest tale about gender and violence... The book is
flawlessly written, incredibly engaging and a source of vital
dialogue * i paper *
An emotional, enlightening and contemporary read that won't fail
to surprise, right up to its final pages * Woman's Weekly *
Magnificent . . . Undoubtedly deserves its place among the most
impressive novels of 2022... [Lily and Asher's] relationship is
a beautiful thing, described with a weight of understanding that
never threatens to trivialise teenage feelings but is alive to all
the fumbles of early romance. Asher and Lily are people first,
adolescents second... Olivia's chapters [are] beautifully and
meticulously written. She, again, is a person first and a
mother second, with a complex inner life that extends beyond her
child... Wonderfully drawn and heart-breaking...
Empathetic and nuanced during a time of viscous division in
our culture... It's impossible to look away. The writing is
beautiful and seamless, with hardly any evidence that it was
written by two separate authors... Lily, Asher, Olivia and
their supporting cast shine with all the complications and nuances
of real people whom we have the privilege to know. Mad Honey is
a fascinating and gripping page turner that asks important
questions about who we are and how we treat others. * Irish
Sunday Business Post *
A challenging, intriguing story * Image Magazine *
A thought-provoking book highlighting the difference between
secrecy and privacy, and between what people want to be and who
they truly are * Heat *
Mad Honey tackles a topical controversy head-on . . .
Thought-provoking, well-balanced and powerful . . . an ideal book
group choice, igniting debate and discussion * Sunday Express S
Magazine *
As is expected in a Picoult novel, the characterisation is complex
and detailed: no one is intrinsically good or bad, which makes the
storytelling even more captivating * Belfast Telegraph *
What begins as a family crime novel with themes of trust,
betrayal, abuse and feat, quickly becomes a poignant note on what
it is to love someone, and the beautiful ways individuals choose to
live authentically . . . Commentary about identity and motherhood
is cleverly woven throughout, making for an honest and interesting
talk about gender and violence. Flawlessly written,
incredibly engaging and a source of
vital dialogue in a world where trans
voices aren't always championed. If
you read only one more book this year,
make it this one.
