Little Bee is a disturbing, but important book. I did not find it completely believable, and yet I can't help but wonder how much of it might be true. While it is a work of fiction, it is a story that needs to be told. Again and again. Examples of persecuted peoples all over the world need to touch our collective consciousness. Awareness will not resolve the suffering, but we must not remain unaware.
I am intrigued at how Cleave told a story of suffering and pain, and at the same time preserved the dignity of the protagonist so well. It is a very human story. One I suspect I am better for having read.
