In the midst of war,he found love In the midst of darkness,he found courage In the midst of tragedy,he found hope.
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.
