The Beekeeper of Aleppo— My thoughts

I read TBoA last year because I liked the concept of it. Honestly I was very disappointed while I was reading the book. It is filled with stereotypes and there are several parts in the book where Nuri talks about women's breast and how a 12 year old girl leaning against a tree is somehow sexual. I will admit, that part is when the book was officially dead to me.

I feel like the book had so much potential given the topic it's about but I was left feeling disappointed and wishing we were reading it from Afra's (Nuri's wife) perspective. I was really excited about this book the first time I heard about it as many people I know referred to it as "a future classic". Honestly, I can see why they thought that but it would simply end up being one of those classics you read for school that end up not being enjoyable at all.

The topics this book talks about are important and I just don't think they were handled with the care they should've gotten. Over all the book is a 1.75/5 at MOST (in my opinion).

Christy Lefteri is a Cypriot refugee and I had heard about her before reading TBoA so I thought that her writing on this topic would be great however I'd honestly recommend you to read books that were written by Syrian refugees instead of this. If Lefteri ever writes (or has written) a book about her experience as a refugee, I'd definitely read it, however I really don't expect much from her after TBoA. The writing style of the book, the way she wrote her characters and really the way she represented muslim and Arab people in general just rubbed me the wrong way.

Here's a reminder that over 600,000 people have been massacred and raped in Syria, with millions displaced. You'll never hear a liberal or a left-leaning "humanitarian" talk about it or riot about it or even discuss it on a social platform or any platform in general because it's Muslim on Muslim violence and it goes against their prevailing narrative.

In the 1960’s back in Iowa, family reunions started happening around this time of year.  We would make long treks to distant parts like Spencer, Iowa or Coralville, Iowa to meet with cousins by the dozens, with Great Aunts and their great families… people we looked somewhat like and were actually related to, but usually didn’t see more than twice in any given year.  And there were some who lived…

France and Turkey’s Feuding Over Africa
