Day of the Bees is a darkly erotic story of obsessive love between a Picasso-like artist and his beautiful muse set in war-time Provence and contemporary Mallorca.
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.

Thomas Sanchez spent his youth in northern California, where he began his first novel, Rabbit Boss, on a cattle ranch at the age of 21. One year later, he received a master’s degree from San Francisco State University. Rabbit Boss, a hundred-year saga of a California-Nevada Indian tribe, was completed when Sanchez was 27. After publishing a second novel, Zoot-Suit Murders, in the late 1970s, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for his third novel, which became Mile Zero, written during the 1980s on the island of Key West. Sanchez divides his time between California and Florida.
