In hotel rooms and coffee shops, swiftly deleted texts and briefly snatched weekends, they have built a world with none but the two of them in it. But then the unimaginable happens, and Ana finds herself alone, trapped inside her secret. How can we lose someone the world never knew was ours?

Peeling away the layers of two overlapping marriages, ‘Here is the Beehive’ is a devastating excavation of risk, obsession and loss.
