Quite a powerful novel 
December 18, 2012
In “Little Bee,” Chris Cleave takes a story that could very easily have devolved into sentimental twaddle and weaves a masterfully powerful tale of human connection and the very personal consequences of global issues. The lives of his two narrators—the Little Bee of the title, a Nigerian refugee in England, and Sarah, an upper-middle class journalist, wife, and mother—become inextricable intertwined in a highly improbable but also quite plausible way. And the consequences are devastating. To say anymore would be a cruel attempt to rob this story of its incredible power and insight. So I’ll say just this: Read it.
