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.
