Humble Boy April 11, 2009

Felix Humble, theoretical physicist, has left Cambridge and his search for a unified "Theory of Everything" to attend his beekeeper father's funeral- but finds himself in the middle of a hornet's nest instead. His overbearing mother Flora has exiled the bees, and taken the boorish next-door neighbor as her lover. Add a mousey family friend, a dutiful gardener, and a visitor from his own romantic past, and like the bees, Felix bumbles to find order amid the chaos.
