Songbirds is Christy Lefteri's follow-up to the international best-selling The Beekeeper of Aleppo, which has sold over a million copies, and it looks to be just as successful. This 400 page book, with a beautifully simple yellow cover with a hand and landscape of the setting, Cyprus. The story of Nisha, her travels for the good of her child and her relationship with her lover, the hunter Yiannis, who seeks the songbirds of the title sounds like a wonderfully warm and heart-breaking story I'd love to read.
