Little Bee is unlike any novel I have read before.  I'm still at the beginning of the book.  It's a story about a refugee women from Africa and women who's life is changed by Little Bee some how.  I will have to keep on reading to see how this all works out.  It has made me think about a refugee's life and the fear they must face when they are forced to leave their homes to escape unexplained terror.  Little Bee ends up in England in a detention center for immigrants.  She is very resourceful and learns the best she can to speak the language of England so she can communicate when she is out.  So far I have not been able to understand how Little Bee and Sarah's lives collide.  But her husband Andrew commits suicide after he gets a phone call from Bee.  It's a sad book so far, but makes you think about all the obstacles a refugee would have to over come having to be in a different country.
