AWW21 Honeybee - Craig Silvey

After the blockbuster success of Jasper Jones, Craig Silvey’s
highly anticipated new novel is Honeybee. Chronicling the coming
of age of its transgender narrator, Sam, the story opens with Sam
and another despairing soul standing on an overpass ready to end
it all. Sam and Vic save each other and their tentative
friendship gives them their first reason to live. Equal parts
heartbreaking and heartwarming, Honeybee is a deeply empathetic
novel of identity, vulnerability and masculinity.
