The History of Bees - Maja Lunde

Descriere The History of Bees - Maja Lunde

\nImagine The Leftovers, but with honey (Elle), and in the spirit of Station Eleven and Never Let Me Go, this spectacular and deeply moving (Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author) novel follows three generations of beekeepers from the past, present, and future, weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the bees--and to their children and one another--against the backdrop of an urgent, global crisis. \nEngland, 1852. William is a biologist and seed merchant, who sets out to build a new type of beehive--one that will give both him and his children honor and fame. \n \nUnited States, 2007. George is a beekeeper fighting an uphill battle against modern farming, but hopes that his son can be their salvation. \n \nChina, 2098. Tao hand paints pollen onto the fruit trees now that the bees have long since disappeared. When Tao's young son is taken away by the authorities after a tragic accident, she sets out on a grueling journey to find out what happened to him. \n \nHaunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins the past, the present, and a terrifying future in a riveting story as complex as a honeycomb (New York Times bestselling author Bryn Greenwood) that is just as much about the powerful bond between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.\n
