The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri

Amoving novel that tells the story of Nuri, a beekeeper, and his wife Afra, an artist, as they flee war-torn Syria in search of safety in the UK.

After their home in Aleppo is destroyed and they suffer a devastating personal loss, Nuri and Afra undertake a dangerous journey through Turkey and Greece, facing refugee camps, smugglers, and uncertainty. Afra has been blinded by trauma, and Nuri clings to memories of his bees and hopes of rebuilding his life in Britain with his cousin, who runs a beekeeping business there.
