    "Sometimes we create such powerful illusions, so that we do not get lost in the darkness."
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2023*

An important and interesting story told in a unique style.Following Nuri and Afra on their journey from war-torn Syria to England provided a unique view into the lives and struggles of refugees seeking asylum. While this topic is an important one, I feel as though this book fell short.The first item glaringly missing is the connection to Nuri being a beekeeper with.... anything. As the title of the book and what was pushed to be an important part of Nuri's life in the beginning, I had a hard time connecting the importance, or even symbolism, of this after reading.Nuri and Afra faced a treacherous journey that would be filled with many faces, places, and struggles. Even so, it felt as though these were glossed over and even downplayed at times. I struggled to feel the emotions being told (instead of shown) due to this.In addition, the couple faces many mental and physical illnesses due to the war. These were resolved almost instantly at the end of the book with little development. This seemed jarring and dismissive of the long-term struggles citizens of war-ravaged lands face. Similarly, I was hoping for more character development as this couple faced excruciating events together.All-in-all, I felt as though this book provided me insight into the journey that refugees face while seeking asylum. While I craved more from the book, I felt deeply for Nuri and Afra which kept me hooked until the end. In addition, I enjoyed Lefteri's writing style, including the unique transitions mid-chapter using one word to end the sentence of the last half and start the sentence of the next.“I think the bees are like us,” she said. “They are vulnerable like us."

    Amazing read
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023*

I'll admit it was hard to read at times when it more than touched my heart... it ripped my heart. The creative writing style was what made it possible to finish. One review states that the author jumped around too much but I disagree. This approach was what allows the reader to immerse with the characters and catch a much needed emotional breath. I loved this book and can't wait to read Christy's Songbirds.

    Sad but incredible tale of survival
  

*by Y***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023*

Excellent and creative book that chronicles a couple’s journey out of a civil war to the UK. It is written with such empathy, and able to address even the most harrowing challenges the couple faces without sensationalizing the traumatic experiences they endure.
