The Beekeeper Of Aleppo<\/a> – Christy Lefteri<\/strong> Nuri is sustained only by the knowledge that waiting for them is his cousin Mustafa, who has started an apiary in Yorkshire and is teaching fellow refugees beekeeping. 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 even the bravest souls. Above all, they must make the difficult journey back to each other, a path once so familiar yet rendered foreign by the heartache of displacement.”<\/p>\n Malibu Rising<\/a> – Taylor Jenkins Reid<\/strong> The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud\u2014because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he\u2019s been inseparable since birth.<\/p>\n Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can\u2019t stop thinking about promised she\u2019ll be there.<\/p>\n And Kit has a couple secrets of her own\u2014including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.<\/p>\n By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family\u2019s generations will all come rising to the surface.”<\/p>\n
\n“Nuri is a beekeeper and Afra, his wife, is an artist. Mornings, Nuri rises early to hear the call to prayer before driving to his hives in the countryside. On weekends, Afra sells her colorful landscape paintings at the open-air market. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the hills of the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo\u2014until the unthinkable happens. When all they love is destroyed by war, Nuri knows they have no choice except to leave their home. But escaping Syria will be no easy task: Afra has lost her sight, leaving Nuri to navigate her grief as well as a perilous journey through Turkey and Greece toward an uncertain future in Britain.<\/p>\n

\n“Malibu: August 1983. It\u2019s the day of Nina Riva\u2019s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over\u2014especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva.<\/p>\n
