3.5 stars

Little Bee is from Nigeria and was fleeing for her life when she met Andrew and Sarah on a beach in her country. Some time later, Bee has arrived in England, but has been held for 2 years in a detention centre for immigrants. When she is released, she contacts Andrew, since he and Sarah are the only people she knows in England. When she makes it to their place, however, Sarah is dealing with other things.

My summary gives away more than the book jacket, though I still don’t think it gives away very much. The book alternates between Bee’s and Sarah’s points of view. I liked the book, but I have mixed feelings about the ending. I absolutely hated Sarah’s (view spoiler)[ boyfriend and have no idea what she saw in him (hide spoiler)]! There is a good author’s note at the end.

This is a book that people seem to either love or hate. I was on the love side.

I loved it too.

I remember particularly loving this one, but it was about 1000 years ago. I can barely remember pieces of it.

I read it for my F2F book club ... and gave it just 2.5 stars.

Funny, and I landed right in the middle!

It was a book I chose to kick off a new book club I've started. I guess I'll find out on Tuesday what everyone else thought!

I am in the love it camp also. I gave it 5 stars and wanted to read more by the author.
