‚It’s simultaneously heart-breaking and uplifting, and I loved it‘ Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl with the Louding Voice ‚This heart-warming , uplifting story will make you want to call your own friends, not to mention grab some honey‘ Good Housekeeping * A Good Housekeeping Book Club Pick * Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by BookRiot and the New York Post * _________________________________________ To the outside world Alice, Jake and Harry have little in common. Alice is a social outsider: reclusive, middle-aged, and with only 850,000 honeybees for company. Jake , following an accident at a high school party, is grappling with life in a wheelchair and dashed dreams of music school. And Harry is an aimless twenty-four-year-old suffering from debilitating social anxiety. But when Alice nearly crashes her pick-up truck, packed with thousands of honeybees, into Jake, the last thing she expects is to find that Jake has a gift: he can hear her bees‘ buzzing as a form of music. And when Harry also arrives at Alice’s farm, looking for work, it is the beginning of this trio’s unlikely friendship. All seems right with their world – until the buzzing stops. . . Now, these friends must unite to defend their bees. Set in the gorgeous, sprawling countryside of the Pacific Northwest, Eileen Garvin’s THE MUSIC OF BEES is about finding friendship in the most unlikely of places, and the families we choose for ourselves. Heart-warming, inspirational and redemptive, it is perfect for fans of THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS and Rachel Joyce. _________________________________________ Praise for The Music of Bees. . . ‚Genuinely touching‘ Publishers Weekly ‚A hopeful, heart-warming, uplifting story about the power of chosen family‘ Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is ‚An exquisite debut‘ People Magazine ‚A special treat for nature lovers, The Music of Bees is full of warmth and hope and decency‘ Rebecca Hardiman, author of Good Eggs ‚The Music of Bees is an enchanting book of belonging , overcoming adversity and the journey to find a hive of one’s own‘ Kira Jane Buxton, author of Hollow Kingdom ‚The Music of Bees sings!‘ Adriana Trigiani ‚ A delightful book!‘ Netgalley Reviewer, 5 stars
