Dickie's once-lucrative car business is going under--but rather than face the music, he's spending his days in the woods, building an apocalypse-proof bunker with a renegade handyman. His wife Imelda is selling off her jewelry on eBay, while their teenage daughter Cass, formerly top of her class, seems determined to binge-drink her way through her final exams. And twelve-year-old PJ is putting the final touches to his grand plan to run away from home. Where did it all go wrong? A patch of ice on the tarmac, a casual favor to a charming stranger, a bee caught beneath a bridal veil--can a single moment of bad luck change the direction of a life? And if the story has already been written--is there still time to find a happy ending?"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Families|vFiction. 650 0 Finance, Personal|vFiction. 651 0 Ireland|vFiction. 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 775 08 |iReproduction of (manifestation):|aMurray, Paul, 1975- |tBee sting|d[London] : Hamish Hamilton, an imprint of Penguin Books, 2023|z9780241353950
