Produktbeschreibung
In 1881 rural Sussex, a reclusive beekeeper's daughter guards her mother's secret: a forgotten language of women's folk songs that keep the hives thriving-and the heart alive. When a disgraced linguist arrives, exiled from Oxford for loving another woman, she sees not just folklore, but a lifeline. Eliza Croft came to document lost voices. She never expected to find her own. As Marianne Vale teaches her to read the bees-their hums, their dances, their silent loyalty-a quiet intimacy blooms in the space between words. But in a village where silence is safety, even the smallest act of tenderness is an act of courage. The Language of Bees is a slow-burn sapphic historical romance for readers who crave emotional depth, sensual intimacy without explicit scenes, and a love story rooted in shared labor, quiet resistance, and the enduring wisdom of women who sang in secret-and loved without shame. Perfect for fans of *The Stillness Between Us*, Sarah Waters, and gentle, character-driven historical fiction where every touch, glance, and shared silence carries the weight of a vow.
Autorenporträt
Clara Bellweather is a writer of historical fiction who believes the quietest hearts often hold the fiercest loves. Born in the West Country and educated in Edinburgh, she now lives in a cottage overlooking the Cornish coast, where she tends a garden of foxgloves and honeysuckle, and writes stories about women who choose each other in a world that demands silence. The Stillness Between Us is her debut novel.
