Description:

The Beekeeper of Aleppo
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.

As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they must confront not only the pain of their own unspeakable loss, but dangers that would overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all – and perhaps this is the hardest thing they face – they must journey to find each other again.

Songbirds
Nisha has crossed oceans to give her child a future. By day she cares for Petra’s daughter; at night she mothers her own little girl by the light of a phone.

One day, Nisha vanishes. No one cares about the disappearance of a domestic worker, except Petra, and Nisha’s lover, Yiannis. As they set out to search for her, they realise how little they knew about Nisha. What they uncover will change them both forever.

Set in her native Cyprus, Christy Lefteri has crafted a triumphant follow up to The Beekeeper of Aleppo, which illuminates the power of the human spirit, and the enduring love of a mother for her child.

A Watermelon, a Fish and a Bible
It is July 1974 and on a bright, sunny morning, the Turkish army has invaded the town of Kayrenia in Cyprus.

For one young woman, brought up without her mother and shunned by the community, the invasion brings an opportunity to, at long last, share her side of the story.

To an invading soldier, it becomes a search for his one true love, lost years ago.

And for a man far from the action, it brings memories of the past flooding into his mind – a woman, a child and a secret never told.

The Book of Fire
AMONG THE ASHES, ONE FAMILY FOUND HOPE . . .

In a tiny, beautiful Greek village, deep in an ancient forest, live a family – Irini, Tasso and their daughter, sweet Chara. One day their world is rocked when a forest fire consumes the village, leaving houses burned and lives irreparably damaged.

But what happens after the fire?
