About this event

WRITING THE SECOND NOVEL

CHRISTY LEFTERI interviewed by EMMA FILTNESS

The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2019). Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo – until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. Afra has lost her sight, and so they embark on a perilous journey towards an uncertain future in Britain, in which they will confront the pain of their unfathomable loss.
