A little nigerian girl by the name of "Little Bee" is just released from an immigration detention center in the UK after two years- this is how Cleave begins this scintillating story of survival. It's reallly hard to give a succint plot of the book without giving it away. Every page is filled with awesomeness, from the situations to Chris Cleave's metaphors and extraordinary tone amongst the narrators. Yes, there are two narrators-both telling a story. But I won't elaborate because if i do, once you read it you won't be as amazed as I was. I'm not finished yet, but I can definitely say that this is the best book I've read this year. I previously read Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri, which was officially the best book of 2010 according to New York Times, but this is the best. Hands down. Great read. Highly Recommended! Superb literature.
