What it’s about (from Goodreads):

Little Bee is an immensely emotional look at the atrocities that occur throughout the African continent in the name of oil exploration. Cleave pulls the story together as he alternates the narrative between two characters. This is truly a story of survival and perseverance.

One part of the story that really touched me was when Little Bee states, "We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I Survived".  Oh how true this statement is and I think we all have some type of scarring. I don't think I could have survived as well as Little Bee did, but I really enjoyed this deeply moving, sad novel.

We would recommend this to:

Fans of historical fiction, those who like books that make them think
