Of words but not their meanings, of a sweater but not the face above it. Of a box, the corner of a room, the scratch of wool, but never a whole father, or even a whole mother the way she'd been before. These were among the things she hoarded, like the nail files, key chains, and pink erasers she kept hidden in a shoebox, her loot. Because mostly, she didn't remember...\u003cp\u003eCritics across the country hailed Elizabeth Graver's first novel, UNRAVELLING, as \"exceptional\" (The New York Times Book Review), a \"pleasure\" (The New Yorker), and \"exquisitely poignant and sensual\" (The Boston Globe). Now, Graver turns her talents to a contemporary novel about a woman and child who find that they cannot move ahead with the future until they can look clearly at the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe summer that eleven-year-old Eva is picked up on her fourth shoplifting charge, her mother, Miriam, decides that the only solution is to move from Manhattan to a quiet town in upstate New York. There, she tells Eva, they can have a \"normal\" life. But what Miriam doesn't tell her daughter, or anyone else, is that Eva's stealing scares her for a different reason, one related to a past she has been trying to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs tensions mount between mother and daughter, it is, oddly enough, Eva's secret frienship with Burl - a reclusive beekeeper who lives down the road - that ultimately helps the two find their way back to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE HONEY THIEF is a haunting, lyrical novel about the shadow the past casts on the present, the workings of memory and desire, and the healing powers of unexpected friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Hyperion","offers":[{"title":"Honey Thief | Elizabeth Graver | Hardcover | 9780786862825 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1790262","offer_id":68005326946456,"sku":"1790262","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/A1lA5aNrQsL.jpg?v=1794705189","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/honey-thief","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
