Disfigured and covered in a blanket of bees, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff of superstition, a child kissed by the devil. But he is welcomed by landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales, who adopt him and care for him as if he were their own. As he grows up, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes, he can see what no one else can--visions of all that's yet to come, both beautiful and dangerous. Followed by his protective swarm of bees and living to deliver his adoptive family from threats--both human and those of nature--Simonopio's purpose in Linares will, in time, be divined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and the devastating influenza of 1918, \u003ci\u003eThe Murmur of Bees\u003c\/i\u003e captures both the fate of a country in flux and the destiny of one family that has put their love, faith, and future in the unbelievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Amazon Crossing","offers":[{"title":"Murmur of Bees | Sofía Segovia | Paperback | 9781542040501 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1737768 (temp: 2)","offer_id":48168640053400,"sku":"1737768","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61ySRpv6BpL.jpg?v=1771972781","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/murmur-of-bees","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
