Description

Albert Honig's life has been shaped by his bees. For decades, he has tended to their hives with dedication and care, following in the footsteps of his father and father's father before him. Yet, despite his close connection to these tiny creatures, Albert's relationships with others have often felt distant. His neighbour Claire, in particular, holds a special place in his heart, though years of unspoken feelings and missed opportunities have left their mark. The discovery of Claire's body sets Albert on a path of reflection, as he begins to examine the secrets and silence that have long surrounded him and Claire. Through the quiet moments of everyday life, he starts to uncover the truths that have been hidden for so long. A haunting exploration of regret, omission, and healing, Telling the Bees is a nuanced novel about the complexities of human relationships. With its thoughtful prose and subtle insights into the human condition, this novel invites readers to consider the ways in which our lives are shaped by the choices we make - or fail to make - over time.
