Review of The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri (Zaffre) .
Author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Heather Morris has described the novel as Courageous, provocative, haunting, adding that it will open our eyes
-Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a
simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful
Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens.
When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are
forced to escape
- As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they
must confront not only the pain of their own
unspeakable loss, but dangers that would overwhelm
the bravest of souls. Above all - and perhaps this is the
hardest thing they face - they must journey to find each
other again
- Told with deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that
reminds us of the power of storytelling
