(  ) Robertgreaves | May 21, 2023 | This is undoubtedly a moving story and I expected to be a blubbering mess as I have in other similar stories. However, I didn't feel a strong enough connection with Nuri to get fully invested. To be honest, at points I even felt a bit detached. I think as a mother I would have connected more with Afra, who was overcome with grief at the loss of her precious son. I suspect it was something to do with the writing itself. Same parts felt like a transcript of what was occurring and other parts where stunningly beautiful and the jump between the two styles was jarring. Still an absorbing story and I am glad to have read it. (  ) Mrs_Tapsell_Bookzone | Feb 14, 2023 |
 Lefteri’s slow-building narrative rarely veers into sentimentality or overwhelming bleakness.
"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. 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, they must journey to find each other again. Moving, powerful, and beautifully written, The Beekeeper of Aleppo brings home the idea that the most ordinary of lives can be completely upended in unimaginable ways"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Nuri and his cousin, Mustafa, are beekeepers in Aleppo. One day, their apiaries are destroyed, and Mustafa and his family head to England. He begs Nuri and Afra to join them. Afra doesn't want to leave because their son, Sami, is buried in Aleppo. Afra became blind after this happened.
Finally, Nuri convinces her to leave, but their journey is long and dangerous. Along the way, Nuri hallucinates about a boy named Mohammed. Nuri agrees to work for smugglers to help them get out of Athens.
The book is heartbreaking. Hopefully, it will open people's eyes to the struggle these refugees face. (
