A spellbinding story of forbidden love in the 1950s, now a major movie starring Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger
Fiona Shaw lives in York. After giving birth to her two children, she suffered a postnatal breakdown. She wrote powerfully about her experience of the nightmare of depression in her best-selling non-fiction debut, Out of Me, shortlisted for the MIND prize.
Emotionally charged and compelling, Tell it to the Bees draws you
into its world, a rich world of secrets and passion ... Fiona Shaw
creates brilliant characters who stay with you long after the book
is finished ... liberating and uplifting
*Jackie Kay*
Shaw's writing is lovely: elegant, subtle and haunting.
*The Times*
Powerfully exposes the wrenches of prejudice. It is a tender and
unlikely page-turner
*Financial Times*
A memorable evocation of an era when homosexuality was a crime and
abortion illegal ... a committed and thoughtful writer intent on
using her gifts.
