Little Bee by Chris Cleave

We'll meet at Firestone Walker at 3205 Washington Blvd. in Marina del Rey, 90292. We will likely (hopefully?) be inside but bring a jacket just in case! There is no obligation to order food or drinks, but if you want to do so it is all on an individual basis using a QR code, so need to worry about splitting a check at the end. Parking is available in a small lot behind the restaurant, in the neighborhood (check the signs!), and on Washington.

Note that this book may also appear under the title "The Other Hand."

Little Bee Summary:

Little Bee follows a teenage Nigerian refugee after her illegal release from a British immigration detention center. She travels to the home of Sarah and her husband Andrew, whom she met two years previously on a beach during the oil conflict in the Niger Delta. As both Little Bee and Sarah slowly tell and retell their stories of that event and those before and after it, their voices slowly unite. Bridging across countries and blending into a single set of metaphors, the women’s stories intermingle into one.
