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. <br/> <br/>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. <br/> <br/>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. <br/> <br/>- - - - - - - <br/> <br/> <br/>'This book dips below the deafening headlines, and tells a true story with subtlety and power' Esther Freud <br/> <br/>'A beautiful novel, intelligent, thoughtful; and relevant.
