"secret life of bees" is much much more...
I was invited to a "Book Club", first time ever in one. I thought I would read at least 2 pages about bees. Please know I am allergic to bees. Next thing I know I'm on page 24!!!!! So, yes it is rather compelling and not just about bees. Enjoy!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
