I have read and re-read Molly Keane more, I think, than any other writer. Nobody else can touch her as a satirist, tragedian, and dissector of human behaviour. I love all her books, but Good Behaviour and Loving and Giving are the ones I return to most

Lamech O Mestre Fundador dos Escorpiões (Instrução para o Apocalipse, #23)

&ldquo;[Christy] Lefteri sensitively charts what it&rsquo;s like when war comes home, alert to the subtle effects of trauma and grief. Nuri and Afra are not broadly sketched as victims, but rather suffer in different and complex ways from PTSD. . . . By creating characters with such rich, complex inner lives, Lefteri shows that in order to stretch compassion to millions of people, it helps to begin with one.&rdquo;&mdash;Time&#160;&ldquo;With the first sentence, we enter a world too visible for the protagonists who can&rsquo;t, nevertheless, turn away. The Beekeeper of Aleppo demands that we contemplate the way we humans process the horror around us, the senseless violence, the loss of what we hold dearest.&rdquo;&mdash;Esmeralda Santiago, Aspen Words Literary Prize head judge&ldquo;Beekeeper Nuri and his wife, Afra, are devastated by the Syrian civil war. After violence claims their child and Afra&rsquo;s eyesight, the couple is forced to flee Aleppo and make the fraught journey to Britain&mdash;and an uncertain future.&rdquo;&mdash;USA Today&#160;(5 Books Not to Miss)&ldquo;In recounting the daily brutality as well as the&#160;glimmers of beauty,&#160;this novel&#160;humanizes the terrifying refugee stories&#160;we read about in the news. Lefteri explores questions of trust and portrays what trauma and loss can do to individuals and their relationships. . . . A&#160;beautiful rumination on seeing what is right in front of us&mdash;both the negative and the positive.&rdquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe&#160;(Pick of the Week)&ldquo;Great for book club . . . a powerful story about the refugee experience, hope, and love.&rdquo;&mdash;Real Simple&ldquo;Nuri's story rings with authenticity, from the vast, impersonal cruelties of war to the tiny kindnesses that help people survive it. . . . A well-crafted structure and a troubled but engaging narrator power this moving story of Syrian refugees.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review) &ldquo;A haunting and resonant story of Syrian war refugees undertaking a treacherous journey . . . Readers will find this deeply affecting for both its psychological intensity and emotional acuity.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;&ldquo;In fluid, forthright language, Lefteri brings us humbly closer to the refugee experience&#160;as beekeeper Nuri and his wife, an artist named Afra who has gone blind form the horrors she&rsquo;s witnessed, escape Aleppo and travel dangerously to Great Britain. . . . There&rsquo;s no overloading the deck with drama;&#160;this story tells itself, absorbingly and heartrendingly.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal
