New Paperback Pick: Little Bee

Little Bee , a powerful and beautiful novel written by Chris Cleave, is hard to describe. This is due, in part, to the book jacket’s coyness about the subject matter; it suggests that it is better for the reader not reveal too much about the plot. It’s not revealing too much to say that Little Bee is a captivating novel, exquisitely written, which is why it earned a spot in our Top 10 Books of 2009 .
