LITTLE BEE by Chris Cleave

I just finished LITTLE BEE by Chris Cleave.

It's one of those books you carry around in your head

for days after you finish it.

LITTLE BEE (published as THE OTHER HAND in England)

is a brutal, funny, sad story with a strong moral

dilemma at it's heart, "What would I do?"
LITTLE BEE is a story about the

crossed paths of two strong women characters,

Little Bee, a Nigerian teenager and

Sara, a successful British career woman.

Their traumatic and chance meeting on a beach in Nigeria,

(which the reader doesn't witness until midway into the book)

is the crux of the entire book.

I recommend this book, but advise, it is not light reading.
