🐝 Join us today for a discussion on Sofia Segovia's novel, The Murmur of Bees! Such a beautiful, heartwarming yet heartbreaking story, with so much to talk about! A boy, abandoned because of a birth defect, found under a bridge protected by a blanket to bees. These bees become his constant guide through life...magical realism hums through this story.

Something really interesting is the idea of moral entitlement, so well demonstrated by the antagonist, Anselmo Espiricueta. Never heard of moral entitlement? Join us to find out!
