of Bees and Mist / Erick Setiawn / 404p

A story about a young woman, growing up in a dysfunctional family, in an unnamed land, believes she'll find refuge in her married life. She finds that this is not always true. All the characters in the story seem motivated by grief, jealousy, greed and thwarted love and are emotionally immature.

I do think the symbolism of the bees and mist are well thought out and descriptive of how, when we harbor feelings as stated earlier, they would manifest themselves visually and eat away at an emotionally healthy life.
