FROM THE WINNER OF THE WELSH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD...

Hannah has lived at Berllan-Deg all her life, the rhythms of her day governed by the natural world. Her husband came to live at the orchard when they got married.

Tonight, she must prepare for his funeral. He was a writer and a beekeeper who came to understand the world through the language of bees. He has left Hannah eleven letters; the exact same number as there are frames in a beehive.

But on the morning of the funeral, Hannah's estranged sister arrives and soon they are joined by a stranger with secrets of her own. As the letters unfold, the world around Hannah begins to shift...

'An assured, sensitively told tale' Marie Claire

'A tender, lyrical story of love, loss and renewal' Woman's Own

'Exquisite . . . This is one of those novels that you can devour in a day but lingers long in the memory' Buzz Magazine
