If I had to summarize my thoughts about this novel in one word, the word would be haunting. This political novel, written by Chris Cleave, tells a story about Nigeria, about the United Kingdom, and about immigration. The story is told by two women. One is named Little Bee and she is from Nigeria. The other voice is Sarah, a wife and mother who runs a glamour magazine in London. I don't want to give the story away so I can't say too much more. I can say this - the author has a talent in word craft. The sentences are precise and hard. The story is riveting.
