The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri
5.0
Beautiful, heartbreaking, yet hopeful.
"The bees are family to us."
"she inhaled the world like it was a rose."
"Here it was as if we were all living in the darkest shadow of a solar eclipse."
"She did not cry when _x_ died. Instead her face had turned to stone."
"I think the bees are like us. They are vulnerable like us. But then there are people like Mustafa. There are people like him in the world, and those people bring life rather than death."
"and for that moment we were both the people we used to be."
"I remembered what Angeliki had said about Odysseus when we had first arrived here, how he had traveled to all those places, made such a journey to distant lands, in order to find his way home. But there was no home for us."
