Here is the Beehive

Amazing ... I absolutely love the form, which breathes new life into a familiar story making it both more elegant and more brutal. I read it in one sitting, completely swept up in Ana’s fragmented narrative -- EMMA HEALEY
Excellent ... An eviscerating account of modern marriage * INDEPENDENT.CO.UK *
Sex, work and motherhood all come under the microscope in this vivid portrait of the agony of being "the other woman" * DAILY MAIL *

This lyrical account of an adulterous affair and its brutal aftermath is all the more effective and affecting for the spare, sparse style and I expect it to win as many awards as Sarah Crossan’s YA fiction has done

* RED *
I absolutely gobbled it up: dark, riveting, powerful ... Delivers on a whole new level -- ELIZABETH DAY
A stunner * Good Housekeeping *
Raw, emotional and wistful * Woman & Home *

I read this stunning book standing up in two hours. An eviscerating take on marriage and adultery

-- ERIN KELLY

A beautifully crafted sucker punch of a read. Sarah Crossan has always had an exquisite way with words and in this she uses poetic prose to craft an honest and oftentimes gritty exploration of two intertwined marriages, slowly unravelling. Painfully believable, passionate and occasionally heartbreaking, Here is the Beehive provides further proof that Sarah Crossan is an infinitely gifted writer. We're lucky to have her

-- JAN CARSON
A searing portrait of addictive love and grief and the devastation human beings can wreak on each other ... It is an addictive read, painful, unsettling, full of uncomfortable truths, yet the work itself resounds with its own unique bleak beauty -- LISA HARDING
Devastatingly honest, heartbreaking and tender ... This is the most extraordinary novel I have read in years in form, ambition and scope - an incredible achievement and an instant classic. I will read it again and again -- JANE CASEY

I couldn't put it down. I just loved it. The prose is clean yet rich, her dialogue ear-perfect -- LOUISE KENNEDY
How does she get so much emotion into so few words? Sarah Crossan is a miracle worker ... Utterly meaningful, original and accomplished -- SINEAD CROWLEY
PRAISE FOR SARAH CROSSAN: ‘One of our most original writers. Sarah has almost created an entirely new form of writing in her novels that is hers and hers alone -- JOHN BOYNE
Compelling and beautifully wrought * SUNDAY TIMES *

The princess of pacing … Crossan always finds humour and humanity in the darkness; it’s impossible not to read it in a single gulp

* THE TIMES *
Truly remarkable * IRISH TIMES *

There are familiar flavours and notes and moments of powerful sweetness, but she complicates them with such power and subtlety, in a way that doesn't alienate the reader. The tang of fire is in there, always, leaving a unique aftertaste. You wouldn't mistake it for any other writer, and you won't soon forget it

-- DEIRDRE SULLIVAN
Utterly sublime -- CECELIA AHERN
