Winner of the prestigious Prix de la Francophonie, Tunisian-born, Paris-based Manai’s first book to be translated into English is a fascinating account of parallel conflicts between bees and hornets and between villagers and fanatics.

Appealing to those readers for whom sensationalism and contemptible characters are standard entertainment.
