Way back at the very beginning of the year, Sassymonkey asked what everyone was reading. Someone mentioned Little Bee and since I’d been seeing a lot of buzz (hah!) about the book, I decided to go ahead and add it to my reserve list.
The book arrived and I didn’t read it and I didn’t read it and I didn’t read it. It’s due back soon so I figured what the heck, I’d give it a try.
And I could not put it down.
It’s a hard book to talk about because I don’t want to give it away. You just need to read it for yourself.
A woman and a girl meet on a beach in Nigeria… and this is their story. Dual narrators – done beautifully.
This is the one by Chris Cleave’s, it is also published as The Other Hand. I read it a while ago and really enjoyed it, although I found it a little manipulative in places. Still a great read though.
