( )Haunting- searing -- finely crafted -- memorable -- exquisite Little Bee's family lives above a crude oil site. Her entire family is killed, and she meets 2 English journalists on vacation in a Nigerian beach. This is the story of what happens after she escapes the dentention center in London. This is a brave book depicting the horror of growing up in a country where violence and corruption have affected entire communities and generations. Depicting the terror of being a refugee in a strange land and the sadness of a bereavement that links your life with people you first met in your own country ... A page turner. Wow, you can't say much because it will give away the story. It has been a long time since I have read a book with a protagonist so utterly entrancing, so wise and so perfect, that the struggles of that character becomes so real. Little Bee is one of those characters, whose struggles and experiences and wisdom makes the reader forget throughout the whole book her age, and instead brings the reader even deeper into the story. no reviews | add a review
