About This Book
"En Linares, al norte del país, con la Revolución mexicana como telón de fondo... Un buen día, la vieja nana de la familia Morales abandona sorpresivamente un reposo que parecía eterno para perderse en el monte. Cuando la encuentran, sostiene dos pequeños bultos, uno en cada brazo: de un lado un bebé deforme y del otro un panal de abejas. Ante la insistencia de la nana por conservar y cuidar al pequeño, la familia decide adoptarlo. Cubierto por el manto vivo de abejas que lo acompañarán y guiarán para siempre, Simonopio llega a cambiar la historia de la familia que lo acoge y la de toda una región. Para lograrlo, deberá enfrentar sus miedos, al enemigo que los acecha y las grandes amenazas de la guerra: la influenza española y los enfrentamientos entre los que sesean la tierra ajena y los que protegerán su propiedad a toda costa. El murmullo de las abejas huele a lavanda, a ropa hervida con jabón blanco, a naranjas y miel: una historia impredecible de amor y de entrega por una familia, por la vida, por la tierra y por un hermano al que ha esperado siempre, pero también la de una traición que puede acabarlo todo."--
In Linares, in the north of the country, against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution...One day, the Morales family's elderly nanna disappears suddenly into the woods. When they find her again she is holding two bundles: a deformed baby on one side, a beehive on the other. At her insistence on caring for the child the family decides to adopt him. Covered in a living blanket of bees that will accompany and guide him all his life, Simonopio eventually changes the history not only of his adoptive family but of the whole region. To do so he must face his fears, the enemy that stalks them, and the great dangers of war: Spanish influence and the clashes between those who covet others' lands and those who protect their property at any cost.
