#BookReview: The Beekeeper of Aleppo

The award-winning 2019 novel touches on the resilience of human spirit in the face of adversity.

The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a mesmerising story about the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope in the face of unimaginable adversity.

This award-winning 2019 novel by Christy Lefteri takes readers on a harrowing journey with two refugees attempting to escape the civil war in Syria.

The novel is a timely reminder of the ongoing refugee crisis and the urgent need for compassion and understanding towards those who have been displaced by conflict and persecution.

Nuri is a beekeeper and his wife, Afra, an artist.

Before they could escape, a bomb claimed their seven-year-old son, leaving them both struggling to reframe their own lives in the wake of huge loss.

This forces them to confront their own fears and limitations, and ultimately discover a strength they never knew they had.

This is a story that will stay with readers long after they have turned the final page.
