Wassilissa | Nov 18, 2012 |  Entdeckt habe ich das Buch ja aufgrund des schönen Covers. Sehr gut zu lesen, auch spannend von Anfang an - man möchte unbedingt wissen, was es mit all den Andeutungen auf sich hat. Aber wirklich heftige Geschichte, die erst einmal verdaut werden muss. Empfehlenswert! (  ) Phinatella | Apr 27, 2012 | Zeige 2 von 2
 While the pretext of “Little Bee” initially seems contrived — two strangers, a British woman and a Nigerian girl, meet on a lonely African beach and become inextricably bound through the horror imprinted on their encounter — its impact is hardly shallow. Rather than focusing on postcolonial guilt or African angst, Cleave uses his emotionally charged narrative to challenge his readers’ conceptions of civility, of ethical choice. "Little Bee" leaves little doubt that Cleave deserves the praise. He has carved two indelible characters whose choices in even the most straitened circumstances permit them dignity -- if they are willing to sacrifice for it. "Little Bee" is the best kind of political novel: You're almost entirely unaware of its politics because the book doesn't deal in abstractions but in human beings. "Little Bee" is the best kind of political novel: You're almost entirely unaware of its politics because the book doesn't deal in abstractions but in human beings.  Book clubs in search of the next "Kite Runner" need look no further than this astonishing, flawless novel about what happens when ordinary, mundane Western lives are thrown into stark contrast against the terrifying realities of war-torn Africa.  Cleave has a sharp cinematic eye, but the plot is undermined by weak motivations and coincidences. Gehört zu VerlagsreihenFlipback (1)
A haunting novel about the tenuous friendship that blooms between two disparate strangers--one an illegal Nigerian refugee, the other a recent widow from suburban London. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Sarah ist 32. Vor einigen Jahren hat sie in Nigeria das Mädchen kennengelernt. Seit jener schicksalhaften Begegnung hat sie einen Finger weniger. Nun steht das nigerianische Mädchen mit illegalem Einwanderungsstatus vor ihrer Tür.
Ich fand das Buch interessant und traurig. Durchaus lesenswert. (
