The Beekeeper of Aleppo

This was a great read! It was horrifying and heart breaking but also hopeful. After reading that the author drew from her experiences and stories from volunteering for a UNICEF refugee center, it came together why these characters and their stories seemed so real. It certainly wasn't a “feel good” story but one that made you really think (and continue to think after finishing it). I loved how the author played with words as a transition from present to past, and how swapping back and forth helped piece together the inevitable storyline. Highly recommend!
