Caboodle Firsts: Get one of 100 copies of Sarah Crossan's Here is the Beehive

Here is the Beehive

We're giving 100 Caboodlers the chance to read Sarah Crossan's beautiful novel, Here is the Beehive, before it's out in August. 

It happened,  
            again and again 
            and 
again and again and again. 

Together 
                apart. 
In love 
                in aching. 

Tangled 
unravelling. 

Ana and Connor have been having an affair for three years. In hotel rooms and coffee shops, swiftly deleted texts and briefly snatched weekends, they have built a world with none but the two of them in it.  

But then the unimaginable happens, and Ana finds herself alone, trapped inside her secret. 

How can we lose someone the world never knew was ours? How do we grieve for something no one else can ever find out? In her desperate bid for answers, Ana seeks out the shadowy figure who has always stood just beyond her reach – Connor's wife Rebecca.  

Peeling away the layers of two overlapping marriages, Here is the Beehive is a devastating excavation of risk, obsession and loss. 


"One of our most original writers" – John Boyne

"This is the most extraordinary novel I have read in years in form, ambition and scope – an incredible achievement and an instant classic" – Jane Casey 

"Beautiful, beguiling, funny, sharp, dark. Impeccably crafted" – Holly Bourne

"A beautifully crafted sucker punch of a read" – Jan Carson
