Day of the Bees celebrates passion and creativity as it explores the links between love and violence, art and war, and reveals the sacrifices made for love--of person and country. An American art historian is seeking to discover why the famous painter Zermano abandoned his beautiful muse Louise during World War II. Visiting Louise's cottage in Provence after her death, the scholar finds letters that carry across a panoramic landscape of fifty years and piece together a tempestuous affair with tragic conclusions.

Review:
"Follows the fashion of A.S. Byatt's Possesssion...dark secrets tumble forthÉnothing less than a confrontation between good and evil.... It endorses the notion of undying love."-The Baltimore Sun "A mystery of the heart...lush and haunting...the passion is palpable. The portrayal of Provence is absolutely transporting."-Philadelphia Inquirer
"Louise is mythicÉearthy and erotic, sensual and female... [Her letters] have the dreamlike quality of an erotic fairy tale."-The Washington Post Book World "Entices the reader to partake in literary voyeurism of the highest order...under Sanchez's pen, sensuality and eroticism lend themselves to prose poetry."-Fort Worth Star-Telegram
