Little Bee
By Chris Cleave - September 2010

Little Bee is about two women who meet unexpectedly on a beach. Little Bee is a Nigerian refugee and Sarah is a British magazine editor.

 


  

Little Bee1.   In Britain, Little Bee was published under the title The Other Hand. Which do you think   is a better title for the book? What aspects of the novel does each title highlight?

2.   Why do you think Andrew refused to cut off his finger but Sarah was able to? Do you think you would have?

3.   Do you think Little Bee is as culpable in Andrew's death as he was in her sister's?

4.   Suicide comes up several times in the novel. Do you think there is a difference in the refugee's suicide in the barn and Andrew's?
