Staff Pick
Sue Hubbell makes me yearn to be a beekeeper in the Ozarks — to rely on a place for my survival and my happiness. Divorced and alone on her hundred acre farm, Hubbell heals as she writes about her work as a commercial beekeeper and her peninsula of land. Part botanist, she attempts to find order and classification in her life. She follows her bees through the seasons, the changing harvest of pollen, with a placid clarity found only in nature. I read this book every year, and I learn something with each reading. I love that. I also enjoyed her next book, A Book of Bees, written with the same honest and humble voice.

Synopses & ReviewsReview:"[S]eems much like its author — mostly plainsong and no pretense." Patti Hagan, New York Times Book Review Review:"Once in a while there comes along a book so calm, so honest, so beautiful that even the most jaded or cynical readers have to say thank you. This is such a book." San Diego Tribune Review:"Steadily eloquent, not just of her life but of all life." Ivan Doig, Washington Post Review:"Sue Hubbell's writing is like butter, for it tantalizes, enriches and satisfies." Atlantic Journal Review:"A calm, clear-eyed record of a country year and its beauties." Los Angeles Times Review:"Oh, my, can this lady write." Sports Illustrated Review:"Hubbell's tales of bee-keeping in the Missouri Ozarks have a warm, conversational tone. A pragmatic conservationist, she refuses to treat the surrounding woods as a theme park attraction or an exploitable resource."
