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.
Siya' s passion for writing and storytelling began early on in childhood when she read and imagined stories for her siblings. From a family of poets and storytellers, she was born in Karachi and came to the UK as a two-year old with her parents. She was brought up in Manchester and moved to London to study Biochemical Engineering. After a long, winding path as a student, teacher and art therapist, she started her first novel, The Last Beekeeper, at the age of 40.
