Little Bee

Part of me hesitates in giving this book 4 stars and recommending that others read it...for reasons that should in fact encourage me to do just that. This book addresses topics that more that made me feel uncomfortable, guilty and even convicted. The ending is not finite nor will you ever read it in a fairy tale. Nonetheless, my eyes were opened to injustices that take place overseas - which seems to be far enough away for me to remain ignorant and ambivalent and okay with that. I really enjoyed the author's writing style though I was not as big of a fan of the language at times.

Two of my favorite quotes:
“People wonder how they are ever going to change their lives, but really it is frighteningly easy.”
“It is hard, when it comes right down to the actual choice, to know what you want out of life.”

I picked up the book after reading the inside cover, intrigued by the lack of a proper synopsis.

In summation, you should read this book. Incendiary is definitely going on my to-read list!
