On a sunlit beach in Nigeria, two lives collide and are changed forever.
Sixteen-year-old Little Bee has fled a world of unimaginable violence. In England, Sarah O’Rourke lives a life of comfort until one moment of choice binds her fate to the girl she barely knows. When Little Bee arrives at Sarah’s doorstep years later, both women must confront the price of survival and the meaning of compassion.
What follows is a story of hope, humor, and humanity in the face of the unthinkable—a novel that reveals how small acts of courage can bridge worlds.
Chris Cleave’s Little Bee is a deeply moving, unforgettable story about love, loss, and the invisible ties that connect us across continents.
