Description

A poignant novel of love, loss, and resilience, this story follows Nuri, a Syrian beekeeper, and his wife, Afra, as war forces them to leave their home and undertake a perilous journey toward safety. As they navigate displacement, grief, and the uncertainty of exile, their shared past and fragile hopes become vital sources of strength. Set against the humanitarian crisis of the Syrian refugee experience, the novel explores how trauma reshapes memory, the enduring power of devotion, and the possibility of rebuilding a life after unimaginable loss. Christy Lefteri’s compassionate, atmospheric prose offers an intimate portrait of survival and the human cost of war.
