Synopsis
Powerful, erotic, disturbing suspenseful novel set in Provence during World War Two, by acclaimed American author.
Day of the Bees is a darkly erotic story of obsessive love between a Picasso-like artist and his beautiful muse.
An American academic, researching the life of the most famous artist of the century and the mystery of why and how he abandoned the passionate relationship with his muse and lover during the war, finds a cache of letters in the woman’s house after her death.
The burningly passionate correspondence reveals the nature of their love and, eventually, the reason for their parting, and encompasses a taut Resistance storyline as well as a beautiful evocation of Provence – a harsher place than the tourist brochures or Peter Mayle portray.

Soft Cover. Etat : Very Good. First Flamingo Edition. First printing. Lt. shelf wear. Pages fine. The narrator of Thomas Sanchez's fourth novel teaches art history in America, but he dreams of Europe--or more specifically, of Spain. The Professor (as he identifies himself) specializes in a Spanish painter of the 1940s, Francisco Zermano, to whom he has devoted a spate of scholarly articles. He also spends hours staring at the man's paintings, trying to imagine the stories behind them. This iconographic detective is particularly curious about one bit of recurrent imagery: the body of a beautiful woman, which is rumored to belong to Louise Collard, the painter's muse. 279 pages. Bookstore mark. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 015172
