Winner of the Aspen Words Literary Prize, finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and named one of the best books of the year by Real Simple, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a moving historical novel about war, displacement, survival and the enduring bond between two people trying to find their way back to each other.
Nuri is a beekeeper and his wife, Afra, is an artist. In Aleppo, they live a simple life surrounded by family, friends and the routines they love. But when war destroys the world they know, they are forced to leave Syria behind.
Their journey takes them through Turkey and Greece towards an uncertain future in Britain. Afra has lost her sight after witnessing unimaginable devastation, while Nuri carries his own grief and the responsibility of helping them both survive.
The thought of reaching his cousin Mustafa keeps Nuri moving forward. Mustafa has begun a new life in Yorkshire, where he teaches fellow refugees to keep bees.
As Nuri and Afra travel through a fractured world, they must confront danger, loss and the disorienting experience of displacement. More difficult still is the emotional distance that has grown between them.
The Beekeeper of Aleppo is an intimate story about the devastation of war, the search for safety and the difficult journey towards healing, hope and one another.
