5.0

A beautiful yet heartbreaking tale of a man (a beekeeper) and his wife (an artist), who are trying to flee Aleppo in hopes of a better life in the uk. 
This book not only tackles the issue of war and the innocent lives affected by it, but also touches on the topic of mental health, trauma, loss and much more.
I feel like everyone should read this book, as it provides an insight into what these people have to face every day, leaving their homes to find safety elsewhere, but never truly feeling like they belong… safe but an outsider in a foreign land, hoping for a fresh start.
I only wish it would resonate with others the way it resonated with me.
