In the midst of tragedy, he found hope The Beekeeper of Aleppo What will you find from his story? 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. Moving, powerful, compassionate and beautifully written, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Told with deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that reminds us of the power of storytelling.

This book is so beautiful and tragic and enlightening. I couldn't put it down. It contains many horrors faced by the main characters but also tenderness, and hope, alongside the despair, fear and loss...almost every human emotion is here and you feel it with them. The author very skilfully draws you in and makes you invest in the characters' journey, all the while drip feeding you stories of how different their lives used to be. I can't recommend this book enough.
