Literature and Fiction Literary | Mystery
With echoes of The Remains of the Day, an elderly
beekeeper
looks back on his quiet life, and the secrets of a woman he
never truly knew. Albert Honig's most constant companions have always been
his bees. A never-married octogenarian, he makes a modest
living as a beekeeper, as his father and his father's
father did before him. Deeply acquainted with the workings
of the hives, Albert is less versed in the ways of people,
especially his friend Claire, whose presence and absence in
his life have never been reconciled. When Claire is killed in a seemingly senseless accident
during a burglary gone wrong, Albert is haunted by the loss,
and by the secrets and silence that hovered between them for
so long. As he pieces together the memories of their shared
history, he will come to learn the painful truths about
Claire's life, and the redemptive power of laying the past
to rest.
