Have you ever wondered what you would be willing to sacrifice to save another’s life? What would you be willing to do to save someone from excruciating torture and death? This is the question at the core of this week’s read: Little Bee.
Little Bee by Chris Cleave is the story of a young Nigerian girl whose life becomes inextricably bound to a couple who live in Britain. The story asks us to truly ask what we are willing to sacrifice for one another and if we are willing to forgive if others cannot sacrifice the same for us.
It is a beautiful story told in the voice of Little Bee and Sarah, a young mother and journalist from London. Little Bee’s voice is powerful and introspective and reminds us continually of the blessings we daily take for granted. It is a compelling story that is, at times, difficult to read, but by the end of Little Bee’s tale, you will be thankful for the time you have spent with her and the lessons this young girl has taught. It’s a book well worth picking up.
As always, happy reading!
