From an award-winning Tunisian author comes a stirring allegory
about a country in the aftermath of revolution and the power of a
single quest. Sidi lives a hermetic life as a bee whisperer,
tending to his beloved "girls" on the outskirts of the desolate
North African village of Nawa. He wakes one morning to find that
something has attacked one of his beehives, brutally killing every
inhabitant. Heartbroken, he soon learns that a mysterious swarm of
vicious hornets committed the mass murder-but where did they come
from, and how can he stop them? If he is going to unravel this
mystery and save his bees from annihilation, Sidi must venture out
into the village and then brave the big city and beyond in search
of answers. Along the way, he discovers a country and a people
turned upside down by their new post-Arab Spring reality as Islamic
fundamentalists seek to influence votes any way they can on the eve
of the country's first democratic elections. To succeed in his
quest, and find a glimmer of hope to protect all that he holds
dear, Sidi will have to look further than he ever imagined. In this
brilliantly accessible modern-day parable, Yamen Manai uses a
masterful blend of humor and drama to reveal what happens in a
country shaken by revolutionary change after the world stops
watching.
