Up in the house that sits on the hill, a strange spell is brewing... To Meridia, growing up with her father Gabriel, who vanishes daily in clouds of mist, and her bewitching mother Ravenna, the outside world is a refuge. So when as a young woman her true love Daniel offers her marriage, it seems an escape to a more straightforward existence. Yet behind the welcoming fa???ade of her new home lies a life of drudgery and a story even stranger than that she left behind. Aged retainers lurk in the background; swarms of bees appear at will, and of course, there's her indomitable mother-in-law, Eva, hiding secrets that it will take Meridia years to unravel. Surrounded by seemingly unfathomable mysteries, can Meridia unlock the intrigues of the past, and thus protect her own family's future? An epic tale of two families told by an unforgettable voice. A modern fable, a gothic page-turner, but most of all, a passionate story about the power of love to conquer all that comes its way.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Outline: -Raised in a sepulchral house where ghosts dwell in mirrors Meridia grows up lonely and miserable. But at age sixteen she has a chance at happiness when she falls in love with Daniel-a caring and naive young man. Soon they marry and Meridia can finally escape to live with her husband`s family unaware that they harbor dark secrets of their own. There is a grave hidden in the garden there are two sisters groomed from birth to despise each other and there is Eva-the formidable matriarch and the wickedest mother-in-law imaginable-whose grievances swarm the air in an army of bees. As Meridia struggles to keep her life and marriage together she discovers long-buried secrets about her own past as well as shocking truths about her new family that inexorably push her love courage and sanity to the brink. Of Bees and Mist is an engrossing fable that chronicles three generations of women under one family tree over a period of thirty years-their galvanic love and passion their shifting alliances their superstitions and complex domestic politics-and places them in a mythical town where spirits and spells witchcraft and demons and prophets and clairvoyance are an everyday reality. Erick Setiawan`s astonishing debut is a richly atmospheric and tumultuous ride of hope and heartbreak that is altogether touching truthful and entirely memorable. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Headline The date of this copy is 2009 booksalvation have grade it as Very Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
