Sunny Moritz needs a change. She's thirty-three, single, weary of tedious romances with the wrong kind of men and, according to her disappointed parents, drifting about like a tumbleweed. Her former high school crush, orthopaedic surgeon Adam Harrison, might be meeting all her physical demands (and requiring a subtotal of zero emotional headspace), but what about the rest of her life
When Sunny decides to start beekeeping, the man with the information she needs is an odd, enigmatic and indecently sexy Antarctic scientist. Surely, though, she's way too pragmatic to be affected by his magnetism ...
But as her hunger for meaning starts to bloom, Sunny begins to think that maybe it's not too late to reconnect with her parents, maybe it's time to start dancing again and maybe even she could have a lasting relationship.
Dancing with Bees is easy to read, but hard to put down. In the tradition of Emily Henry and Marian Keyes, this delightful novel bubbles with charm, warmth and humour, but also speaks of the important things in life - like love.
PRAISE FOR DANCING WITH BEES:
'a romance as sweet as honey with observations as sharp as a bee sting.' STEPH VIZARD, author of The Love Contract
Anna Maynard's experience as a writer has largely been restricted to medical letters and discharge summaries, which, although written with care, are generally not butterfly-inducing. So after sitting her specialist medical exams she decided it was time to write about romance.
When she's not dreaming up fictional heroines and hot male leads she can be found working in the emergency department, pottering in her garden, playing songs with her pop band (Nuria), or racing on her bike to the school pickup.
Anna lives in Tasmania with her husband and three young children. She has a voracious appetite for life and a robust ability to laugh at herself.
