Join us to discuss "The Bees" by Laline Paull.

About this month's title:

The Handmaid’s Tale meets The Hunger Games in this brilliantly imagined debut set in an ancient culture where only the queen may breed and deformity means death.

Flora 717 is a sanitation worker, a member of the lowest caste in her orchard hive where work and sacrifice are the highest virtues and worship of the beloved Queen the only religion. But Flora is not like other bees. With circumstances threatening the hive’s survival, her curiosity is regarded as a dangerous flaw but her courage and strength are an asset... But when Flora breaks the most sacred law of all... enemies abound. Her deepest instincts to serve and sacrifice are now overshadowed by an even deeper desire, a fierce maternal love that will bring her into conflict with her conscience, her heart, her society—and lead her to unthinkable deeds.

Thrilling, suspenseful and spectacularly imaginative, The Bees gives us a dazzling young heroine and will change forever the way you look at the world outside your window.

A limited number of physical copies of the selected title are available in advance at the Belt Branch for check out. 

This program is for adults 18+. Attendance is limited and registration is required for all attendees. Registration opens two weeks prior to the event. If you are not present when the program begins, you may not be able to participate.
 
Masks are not required but are recommended for attendees. Participants are welcome to join us either in person or virtually via Zoom. Meeting details will be e-mailed the day before the meeting for those who are joining virtually.
