false 125054 7 Elizabeth Graver''s first novel, Unravelling, was hailed on publication as "exceptional" (The New York Times Book Review), "a pleasure" (The New Yorker), and "exquisitely poignant and sensual" (The Boston Globe). Now, in her second novel, she proves herself to be a major voice in American fiction. The summer that eleven-year-old Eva is caught shoplifting (for the fourth time), her mother, Miriam, decides the only solution is to move out of the city to a quiet town in upstate New York. There, she hopes, they can have the normal life she longs for. But Miriam is bound by a past she is trying to forget, and tensions escalate. It is only when Eva meets a reclusive beekeeper that she-and her mother-can find their way back to each other, and can begin life with renewed promise. A haunting novel of memory and desire, The Honey Thief reveals the healing power of friendship and the ineradicable bonds of mother and child. 120437 28 9 2000 The Honey Thief total:171|5:17|4:44|3:84|2:20|1:6| 171 559 247 21 3 0 false false Tue Jun 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 20:34:11 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 15:15:07 -0700 2009
