Wonderfully informative book. The two voices were wonderfully done by the author. Little Bee was precious and real. Sarah was human and real. They both were examples of globalization. The obverse side of globalization is that you can't always push your ways on others. I wondered if Sarah actually endangered Little Bee by accompanying her back. It was touching that she gave that effort.

I have been meaning to read this book for ages and am glad I finally did. The narratives of Little Bee and Sarah weave together in a way that I couldn't imagine. It had me going until the final page and then I had to sit and think about it for awhile afterwards. Especially in this time when the conversation about immigrants and refugees is on everyone's lips, this was a timely read.
