From the day that old Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a bridge, the life of a small Mexican town forever changed.

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.

Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and the devastating influenza of 1918, The Murmur of Bees 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.

Nikki is not the only person in town who wants those secrets to stay hidden. Will she be able to face her demons before another child is taken?
