The Beekeeper of Patagonia Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
At the age of seventy-five, respectable Welsh pensioner Audrey Monkton steals a substantial amount of money from Nottswood Council, of which she is the mayor. Audrey flees to South America, specifically the Welsh settlement in Patagonia where she was born, and takes back ownership of her family farm.
Robert Fry, a forty-year-old British diplomat based at the embassy in Buenos Aires, has been on a path of self-destruction for many years. He hopes that a new posting back in London might help him rejuvenate his life. However, he is given one last task before leaving for London: to locate Audrey Monkton and the stolen money.
When Robert arrives in the remote region of Patagonia he finds that the task is not as simple as he expected, and Audrey is far from the frail little old lady he had imagined.

An unusual story. Well developed characters. The writing could improve with editing. Part of the trouble was run-on sentences. Part of the trouble may be because the author is not American. Notwithstanding the writing the newness of the story was much appreciated. I have read many books and continue to read a couple per week. Thus a book I do not find boring is quite exciting.

I was almost to the point of stopping my reading to start another book. The story was interesting but nothing seemed to be happening. I think when robert began to see there might be an alternative, the story finally grabbed my attention and from then on, I found it hard to put down.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Beekeeper ??? of Patagonia
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015
As a beekeeper, I purchased and read this book primarily to read about another beekeeper practicing his/her craft as done the Patagonian way. Beekeeping is definitely not what the novel is about. So fellow beekeepers beware.

The story deals with remorse, introspection and finally, redemption. From beginning to end, the book keeps you hooked. I imagined Patagonia a desolate place but I was mistaken. Conrad

I liked the story although it dragged after about 3/4. Easy read because of the repetitive words about what we already knew.
Basically a sweet story with a message.

I've read about 100 books so far in 2020.
The setting in south western rural Argentina is new to me. The heroine is a tough lady in her 70's. The characters and plot are non-linrear and utterly believable. Great.

Why do we make the choices we do, and when? Illusion, serendipity, fate or simply coming to our senses... this is a novel which explores all of these.

I feel that I was transported to Patagonia.
Still not sure of the beekeeper bit, but an excellent read.

I loved the idea of this novel. The exciting setting, the unusual story line. It had so much potential. Unfortunately it was very naively written and there was little depth to the story

I found this book had excellent character building. Good storyline with enough twists and turns to keep the reader compelled to read on. Some books you can lift and lay but this is one book where you want to read what happens next.
