The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri

challenging emotional sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

It took me a long time to finish this book. When I get home from work, I try to read at least 1-2 chapters, and I find myself identifying with the characters and hoping for their safety. My heart broke for them. There are days when I don't want to read because I'm afraid something may break my heart. I don't usually read this genre, but I'm slowly getting into it since the prose is so amazing and real that I was moved from beginning to end. I'm at a loss for what to do now that I've finished reading this.
