“I could not stop talking because now I had started my story, it wanted to be finished. We cannot choose where to start and stop. Our stories are the tellers of us. ” - Chris Cleave, Little Bee
This novel is beautifully written and absolutely worth reading. At times it is heart-wrenching and violently graphic; at others it is humorous and hopeful. Little Bee tells the story of a Nigerian immigrant seeking asylum in the UK from oil conflicts in her homeland. As the story builds, the character dynamics pull you in and I promise you’ll finish the novel in just a few days.
