“An exquisite debut that combines a moving tale of friendship with a fascinating primer on bees.” (People)
“This heartwarming, uplifting story will make you want to call your own friends, not to mention grab some honey.” (Good Housekeeping)
Three lonely strangers in a rural Oregon town, each working through grief and life's curveballs, are brought together by happenstance on a local honeybee farm where they find surprising friendship, healing - and maybe even a second chance - just when they least expect it.
Forty-four-year-old Alice Holtzman is stuck in a dead-end job, bereft of family, and now reeling from the unexpected death of her husband. Alice has begun having panic attacks whenever she thinks about how her life hasn't turned out the way she dreamed. Even the beloved honeybees she raises in her spare time aren't helping her feel better these days.
In the grip of a panic attack, she nearly collides with Jake - a troubled, paraplegic teenager with the tallest mohawk in Hood River County - while carrying 120,000 honeybees in the back of her pickup truck. Charmed by Jake's sincere interest in her bees and seeking to rescue him from his toxic home life, Alice surprises herself by inviting Jake to her farm.
And then there's Harry, a 24-year-old with debilitating social anxiety who is desperate for work. When he applies to Alice's ad for part-time farm help, he's shocked to find himself hired. As an unexpected friendship blossoms among Alice, Jake, and Harry, a nefarious pesticide company moves to town, threatening the local honeybee population and illuminating deep-seated corruption in the community. The unlikely trio must unite for the sake of the bees - and in the process, they just might forge a new future for themselves.
Beautifully moving, warm, and uplifting, The Music of Bees is about the power of friendship, compassion in the face of loss, and finding the courage to start over (at any age) when things don't turn out the way you expect.
“A hopeful, uplifting story about the power of chosen family and newfound home and beginning again...but it’s the bees, with all their wonder and intricacy and intrigue, that make this story sing.” (Laurie Frankel, New York Times best-selling author of This Is How It Always Is)
"Eileen Garvin's debut novel is uplifting, funny, bold, and inspirational. The Music of Bees sings!" (Adriana Trigiani, New York Times best-selling author)

Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a white mother and a Cherokee father, Betty Carpenter is the sixth of eight siblings. The world they inhabit in the rural town of Breathed, Ohio, is one of poverty and violence—both from outside the family and, devastatingly, from within. But despite the hardships she faces, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters, and her father’s brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all to which she bears witness, Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write.

Beautiful story of overcoming the odds
As a beekeeper in the Pacific North West, I could really connect with characters' interactions with the bees. I have recommended this book to everyone I talk to, I loved it!

All about bees and a heartwarming, inspiring story
I was gradually captured by these 3 unlikely heroes who I frankly didn’t believe at the opening could ever overcome their despair and change their lives for the better. Lots of courage on display here, and also support and kindness. Fascinating learning about bee ‘society’, and their role in our lives.
So wonderful to listen to Therese Plummer. Great narration.

Fantastic story and delivery
I think what I like the most about it is its believability, real life Struggles with real emotions, the interior workings of people's minds that are connected to their hurts and how that exhibits itself in their behaviour and how they navigate in the world before healing was felt very accurate

Great narrator, slow story
Narrator does a great job. The story itself is okay but it’s very slow and plodding, and gets pretty repetitive and predictable. I didn’t dislike it or regret the time spent with it, but it was definitely too long for what it was and the characters were a bit one-note for me. I did enjoy the bee facts, but the characters repeated the same thoughts and feelings over and over and over and over to the point where I was hoping they’d just get on with it already. Had to speed up to almost 2x by the end just to get through it. Decent, but not the best book I’ve ever listened to.
