    The Bee Keeper of Aleppo: Discussion

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, though 'enjoyed' isn't perhaps the most appropriate word, given the themes. I thought it was very well written and the flash forwards and backwards didn’t get confusing at all.

    It opened my eyes to the stark realities of the Syrian Conflict, the losses incurred, and the dreadful decisions people face. I liked the focus on the journey, it embodied hope alongside grief.

    I thought the characters were well drawn and think the author has listened carefully to the stories of the people she has worked with. For me, it had a real ring of authenticity.

    I felt quite inspired by this book, thanks for suggesting it. How did others find it?

Book club

This group is for people who like to read a book and discuss it with others. We will choose a book each month from titles suggested by members of the group. We will then return for an on-line discussion at a pre selected date which will be 6 weeks later. Important that we suggest books which are readily available, not too expensive, and not too long.

** Please note that this is a book discussion group. Business posts will not be accepted and members posting these will be removed from the group. SO PLEASE NO ADVERTISING.
