Review: Eye-opening, moving and a good read... - The book was nicely written; a quick and easy read. The author paints a picture of the experiences of refugees and the hardships they face when trying to get to a safer country; her experiences as a UN volunteer make reading this all the more real and eye-opening. The moving story of the characters in this book highlights the importance of understanding the alternative view and not one that is usually portrayed in the media of refugees being a 'burden' on countries they flee to. I will look forward to more from the author as I found that her choice of clear and simple language allowed the book to flow well and despite the subject and content of the book, made it all the more entertaining to read. Would definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I ask you to read this powerful book that speaks for itself !
*by A***E on 23 March 2022*

Do the broken lives of war refugees move you? “Sometimes we create such powerful illusions so that we do not get lost in the darkness” ☕️ What a breathtaking read! I have to admit parts of this book broke my heart and I have never cried so much reading a book before😔 We see war refugees all over the news and everyone has an opinion on the subject of immigration but seldom do we understand the traumatic journey the people make. THE STORY - Nuri, a 🐝beekeeper and his wife, Afra, an artist 🎨 are living their perfect dream in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo. Then, the war breaks, leaving them exposed and vulnerable to a broken world, to a horrifying loss and to the tragic journey from Syria through Turkey and Greece to UK. MY RATING - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 1/2 ⭐️ is withheld because it took me time and complete focus to get invested in the story. I love how #christylefteri (author) have bridged the 3️⃣ timelines : Pre-war Happy Life in Syria, Horrifying past days of the war in Syria and Present unbroken sky in England through flashbacks and Nuri’s nightmares and dreams both in past and present by connecting the chapters by ONE ☝️ word. The last word of each chapter becomes the title and beginning of the next one. Although the read is compelling, it disappointed me a little in the end. Certain answers are left open - did Nuri Afra reach their destination and claim asylum? What about Afra’s eyesight? Did Nuri seek help for PTSD? I wish I could find closure for these. Have a good read !
