Publisher's Summary

Don’t miss one of the most exciting debuts of 2021.... Perfect for fans of Khaled Hosseini, Yann Martel and Monique Roffey. 

‘I am a friend of the bees. Like you.’ 

‘So, you have been waiting for me?’ 

‘The forest has been waiting for you.’ 

Pakistan, 1974: The secret-wreathed trees of Harikaya have always called to Hassan. He knows if he doesn’t find the last beekeeper and salvage a precious jar of his mythical black honey before the floods come, his mother will lose her sight.

But then he wins a scholarship to study with the state governor in Karachi amidst a brewing storm of political turmoil and simmering espionage.

His entire world is turned upside down when he meets Maryam, the governor’s niece visiting from London.

All the while the fate of his mother and his promise to the bees calls him back to the forest, and so he must decide: Maryam or the beekeeper, England or Pakistan, his head or his heart.

This is a lyrical historical novel of family, friendship and self-discovery exploring the power of choice in a changing world and love in communion with nature.

Slow with a storyline that was lacking

I would not recommend this book. It’s slow and drawn out with a storyline that is lacking and repetitive.
