Christy Lefteri writes literary fiction about displacement, migration, loss and communities trying to rebuild after violence. The Beekeeper of Aleppo follows Syrian beekeeper Nuri and his wife Afra as they travel towards Britain after war destroys their home and apiaries, moving between the refugee journey and memories of Aleppo. Songbirds, inspired by the lives of migrant domestic workers in Cyprus, centres on the disappearance of a Sri Lankan woman and the people who slowly realise how little they know about her life. The Book of Fire turns to a family affected by a devastating Greek wildfire. Lefteri's prose is accessible and emotionally focused, with journeys and landscapes carrying much of the structure. Her work fits migration fiction, contemporary literary fiction and family survival stories. Read more Less
