Two women meet on a beach in Nigeria and their lives are never the same.

I initially picked up this book because it had some early buzz in the book reviews, plus the blurb on the back cover proved irresistible. After the first horrific scenes of the novel, I was compelled to find out the answers about what had happened and why. I was not disappointed. I will never forget Little Bee.

This is a powerful story about human connections, what each of us owes our brothers and the limits on our ability to actually take care of each other. It would be great for a book discussion. I must read it again to fully appreciate the beautiful writing and careful plotting.
