Little Bee

by Chris Cleave

Chris Cleave's 'Little Bee' interweaves the harrowing yet uplifting narratives of two markedly different women -- Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee, and Sarah Summers, a British magazine editor. Their paths cross dramatically on a Nigerian beach and later, fatefully collide in England. The story oscillates between two voices: Little Bee's astute, hopeful observations of a world she's yearning to belong to, and Sarah's struggle to muster meaning amidst her own tumultuous life. When Little Bee emerges on Sarah's doorstep after a grueling detainment, their journey together begins, heralding a profound tale of healing, transformation and the fierce tenacity of human bonds. At its heart, 'Little Bee' deftly portrays the personal impacts of global conflicts and immigration policies, all while exploring the abyss and beauty of human connection.
