The Beekeeper of Aleppo
Lefteri Christy
OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE. A BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB CHOICE 2019, RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB CHOICE 2020, AND WINNER OF THE ASPEN WORDS LITERARY PRIZE.
'This is a novel of international significance. Courageous, provocative, haunting, it will open our eyes' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz
In the midst of war, he found love
In the midst of darkness, he found courage
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.
Look out for Christy Lefteri's next novel, Songbirds, out summer 2021.
'This book dips below the deafening headlines, and tells a true story with subtlety and power' Esther Freud
'A beautiful novel, intelligent, thoughtful; and relevant. I'm recommending this book to everyone I care about. So I'm recommending this book to you' Benjamin Zephaniah
'Powerful, thought-provoking and beautifully crafted' Choice Magazine
