It’s a real pleasure watching this friendship between two women in middle age blossom and evolve into a passionate attachment. It takes time and trust for them to reveal their true feelings and desires to each other. Penelope only knows that Agatha loved her husband. At first, Agatha knows only that Penelope is married to a sailor who is seldom ashore.
Given the genre, it is inevitable that these two will fall in love, but Waite doesn’t rush her protagonists. Agatha is more inclined to be reserved, but Penelope’s kindness helps her realize that she is-three years after her husband’s death-terribly lonely. The beekeeper convinces the printmaker to let her move the colony to a skep behind the shop, and a correspondence that begins with a brief discussion of the colony’s honey production soon turns more intimate.
When artist Agatha Griffin discovers that a swarm of bees has made itself at home in her workshop, she follows her mother-in-law’s advice and seeks the help of Penelope Flood. Another sweet-and steamy-historical romance from the author of The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics (2019).
