The Beekeeper: Rescuing the Stolen Women of Iraq by Dunya Mikhail
4.0
(3.5 stars) I finally finished a book! It’s a miracle!
Firstly, the power of the stories told in this book is heartbreaking and necessary. I’m blown away by the people in this book and those that were able to make it happen.
I think this is an important read to fully understand the threat of ISIS and how this terrorist group has destroyed the lives of people in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria.
The only problem I had with this book was its structure. I felt like it could have been organized a bit better, as the jumping in tone really threw me off at some points.
Also, while I enjoyed Mikhail’s poetry, I thought the pieces could have been incorporated more effectively.
That being said, this is an important book. These stories need to be told.
