Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book "A marvelous novel…… Unexpectedly powerful." ----Newsweek Eliza Naumann has no reason to believe she is anything but ordinary, especially after her teachers place her in the class for slow learners. Her father, Saul, dotes on her older brother Aaron's rabbinical ambitions. Her mother, Miriam, seems fully absorbed by her law career. When a spelling bee threatens to reaffirm her mediocrity, Eliza amazes everyone: she wins. Her newfound gift garners an invitation not only to the national competition, but to her father's sacred study where a new dictionary beckons, Jewish mysticism lurks in leather tomes, and language offers a spritual awakening. Eliza's unexpected success sends her off-kilter family into a tailspin, and Eliza comes to depend upon her own divination to hold the family together.With intense imagination and great emotional acuity, Bee Season evokes a child;s desperate longing for praise and acceptance and is a masterful portrayal of modern family life. Book Dimension : length: (cm)17.4 width:(cm)10.4 喜欢读"这本书"的人也喜欢：
