Day of the Bees
Thomas Sanchez
Francisco Zermano, a world- famous Spanish painter, and his French
mistress, Louise Collard, are separated during World War II. Fifty years
later, after Louise's death, an American scholar discovers a cache of
correspondence- Francisco's letters to Louise in Vichy-controlled
Provence, and her intentionally unmailed letters to him in Paris. In their
vivid, wrenching contents, the scholar uncovers secrets that Louise kept
from Francisco. In a shattering climax, the scholar travels to Mallorca,
where Francisco is said to be living in self-exile, unaware that he will
learn the shattering truth of Louise's fate.
