The Bee-Eaters

“The Bee-eaters is a coming of age story set in rural Staffordshire, England.”

Peter is a socially awkward young man, whose only responsibility is to walk his nine-year-old neighbour home from school - over the heaths and green hills of rural England. As he makes a new friend in an ageing birdwatcher, Peter finds himself ensnared in a knot he cannot untangle.
