<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> The publishers of Cleave's new novel don't want to spoil the story by revealing too much about it. They will say that the beach scene is brutal, and that it braids the fates of a 16-year-old Nigerian orphan and a well-off British couple. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>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.</b> <p/><b>"<i>Little Bee</i> will blow you away." --<i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/>The lives of a sixteen-year-old Nigerian orphan and a well-off British woman collide in this page-turning #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestseller, book club favorite, and "affecting story of human triumph" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) from Chris Cleave, author of <i>Gold</i> and <i>Everyone Brave Is Forgiven</i>. <p/>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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> ...<i>Little Bee</i> is a loud shout of talent. -- <i>Chicago Sun-Times</i> </br></br>...[an] immensely readable and moving second novel...

So it is with the charmingly named title character in Chris Cleave's brilliant and unforgettable <i>Little Bee</i>... -- <i>The Oregonian</i> </br></br>Stunning. -- <i>People</i> (Four Stars and a People Pick) </br></br>The voice that speaks from the first page of Chris Cleave's <i>Little Bee</i> is one you might never have heard -- the voice of a smart, wary, heartsick immigrant scarred by the terrors of her past....Read this urgent and wryly funny novel for its insights into simple humanity, the force that can disarm fear. --<i> O Magazine</i> </br></br>Utterly enthralling page-turner...Novelist Cleave does a brilliant job of making both characters not only believable but memorable....These compelling voices grip the reader's heart and do not let go even after the book's hyper-tense final page. <i>Little Bee</i> is a harrowing and heartening marvel of a novel. -- <i>Seattle Post-Intelligencer</i> </br></br>Vividly memorable and provocative...heartwarming and heartbreaking...Cleave paces the story beautifully, lacing it with wit, compassion, and, even at the darkest moments, a searing ray of hope. -- <i>Boston Globe </i>
