“With the first sentence, we enter a world too visible for the protagonists who can’t, nevertheless, turn away. The Beekeeper of Aleppo demands that we contemplate the way we humans process the horror around us, the senseless violence, the loss of what we hold dearest.” —Esmeralda Santiago, Aspen Words Literary Prize head judge
“Beekeeper Nuri and his wife, Afra, are devastated by the Syrian civil war. After violence claims their child and Afra’s eyesight, the couple is forced to flee Aleppo and make the fraught journey to Britain—and an uncertain future.” —USA Today (5 Books Not to Miss)
“In recounting the daily brutality as well as the glimmers of beauty, this novel humanizes the terrifying refugee stories we read about in the news. Lefteri explores questions of trust and portrays what trauma and loss can do to individuals and their relationships. . . . A beautiful rumination on seeing what is right in front of us—both the negative and the positive.” —The Boston Globe (Pick of the Week)
“Great for book club . . . a powerful story about the refugee experience, hope, and love.” —Real Simple
“Nuri's story rings with authenticity, from the vast, impersonal cruelties of war to the tiny kindnesses that help people survive it. . . . A well-crafted structure and a troubled but engaging narrator power this moving story of Syrian refugees.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A haunting and resonant story of Syrian war refugees undertaking a treacherous journey . . . Readers will find this deeply affecting for both its psychological intensity and emotional acuity.” —Publishers Weekly
“In fluid, forthright language, Lefteri brings us humbly closer to the refugee experience as beekeeper Nuri and his wife, an artist named Afra who has gone blind form the horrors she’s witnessed, escape Aleppo and travel dangerously to Great Britain. . . . There’s no overloading the deck with drama; this story tells itself, absorbingly and heartrendingly.” —Library Journal

Nuri and his wife lived happily in Aleppo until the war started and shredded their joy into pieces. They have to flee from their home in hope for a safe future, because staying would more than likely lead to their death. Lefteri describes the circumstances of the way to and in Greece migrants keep up with to flee for a safer live. She internalizes that migrants are people like everyone else, that they had to fear their life and lost more than we could only imagine. Lefteri herself volunteered in Athens for an Unicef supported refugee center, who is suited better and has the ressources to write such a book. A must read book that goes under your skin! Especially in times of need for more humanity.
