Little Bee by Chris Cleave


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every now and then I read a book that completely opens my eyes to a subject that previously I'd given little thought to. Little Bee is such a book. It delves into the issues surrounding illegal refugee immigration into the UK by telling the story of a young Nigerian girl. It is beautifully written, funny and heart-rending all at once. A memorable way to start of the new decade!

I read it because it was recommended by a reviewer on NPR.

I love NPR book reviews. Maybe, if I can get done with the email today, I'll turn NPR on and load up on book reviews in the listen to queue.

What am I reading now...Nothing. AIYEE!! I need a book! Actually I have two to pick up at the library: Descartes' Bones (for the book club) and The Lace Reader. Both look pretty interesting.
