Good news for book clubs. “Little Bee” by Chris Cleave, a book that got a lot of buzz when it first came out in hardback, is now out in paperback. This is a book I have on my ‘to read’ list, but since I have not read the book, the following is taken from a Booklist review.
Little Bee, smart and stoic, knows two people in England, Andrew and Sarah, journalists she chanced upon on a Nigerian beach after fleeing a massacre in her village, one grisly outbreak in an off-the-radar oil war. After sneaking into England and escaping a rural “immigration removal” center, she arrives at Andrew and Sarah’s London suburb home only to find that the violence that haunts her has also poisoned them.
For those of you unable to catch Cleave on his current 20 city tour, The Early Show on CBS featured the author last May on it’s Get Reading segment.
