Books by Zineb Mekouar
In an ancient Moroccan apiary, a young boy’s inheritance of bees is endangered by climate change, family secrets, and the silence surrounding grief.
High in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, surrounded by valleys once rich with lavender and thyme, stands a centuries-old complex of communal beehives. Here, Anir’s dreams of becoming a beekeeper like his grandfather are realized when he is entrusted with his own colony—an inheritance and a responsibility far greater than he ever could have imagined.
