Synopsis: Millions of people have read, discussed, debated, cried, and cheered with Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee girl whose violent and courageous journey puts a stunning face on the worldwide refugee crisis. &“Little Bee will blow you away.&” —The Washington PostThe lives of a sixteen-year-old Nigerian orphan and a well-off British woman collide in this page-turning #1 New York Times bestseller, book club favorite, and &“affecting story of human triumph&” (The New York Times Book Review) from Chris Cleave, author of Gold and Everyone Brave Is Forgiven. We don&’t want to tell you too much about this book. It is a truly special story and we don&’t want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn&’t. And it&’s what happens afterward that is most important. Once you have read it, you&’ll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don&’t tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.
