Little Bee by Chris Cleave



I know I haven't posted any books in a while. But, I have been reading quite a few. I just finished a book called "Little Bee". On the back cover it says: "Once you have read it, you'll want to tell your friends about it. When you do, please don't tell them what happens. The magic is in how the story unfolds".


So, I'm not going to tell you much about it, except that it raises awareness of a political situation, and tells a story about two women. I really liked it. I think you will too.


Some parts are disturbing and hard to read, but actually told in a very matter of fact way. I've seen the book around, but at a Memorial Day barbeque a friend recommended it to me, and a few days later I found it in a thrift store and decided to try it. By the way, she didn't tell me much about it - just that she couldn't wait to get back to reading it!
