This is my second book with significant African themes I have read as part of my new year's resolution. Not surprisingly, this book also was kind of a downer. However, it was beautiful. It was powerful. And it was thoroughly fiction.
The last book, Running the Rift, while also fiction, seemed more believable, even the end which was lacking in the believable. Little Bee was a great story and I blew through it, wanting to know what was going to happen next. However, it just did not have any bit of believability. I suppose that is why it was fiction.
It also ended abruptly, but it was a perfect ending.
I was very impressed with the female voice that came from this author. Chris Cleave wrote a wonderful book with powerful characters with deep flaws. I would recommend everyone to read this book.
4.75 out of 5 stars.
