A firm favourite of staff and customers alike in 'The Castle Bookshop', 'The Beekeeper of Aleppo' by Christy Lefteri is a wonderful, thought provoking read, that will entertain and enthrall a reader.
This is a novel of international significance. Courageous, provocative,
haunting, it will open our eyes' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist
of Auschwitz Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live
happily in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable
happens and they are forced to flee. But what Afra has seen is so
terrible she has gone blind, and so they must embark on a perilous
journey through Turkey and Greece towards an uncertain future in
Britain. 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.
