Die Insel der Honigtöchter

An island full of mysterious traditions, a young woman in search of hope, and a girl with a magical connection to the golden bees of Sardinia. From the roof of the Opéra Garnier, Alice can look out over all of Paris. Up here, she keeps her bees. Up here is her refuge. But overnight, the hive is abandoned. A warning of impending doom. Shortly thereafter, Alice receives a terrible call: her sister, with whom she hasn't spoken for two years due to a quarrel, has died. She leaves Alice the care of her little niece. But Alice feels overwhelmed by the responsibility. So she travels to Sardinia, where her sister lived, to search for the child's father. What she finds shakes Alice's world: ancient roots, unexpected love, and the healing song of the bees.
