Helpful Score: 1

I enjoy reading a novel when its written for different characters perspectives. "Little Bee" is a great example of the richness an author can add to a story by using this technique.

Ill admit, a few chapters into the story and I wasnt hooked. However, I dont easily give up on reading a book and as this was an assignment for my book club, I was determined to carry on.

Im so glad I did. The plot develops nicely after the first few chapters and keeps your interest the rest of the way through. I found myself identifying with the characters more and more as the story progressed, especially the husband character Andrew. I really didnt see where he was coming from for the longest time, and finally I began relating to him and his struggles.

The two women who are the main characters of this story are strong counterparts on whose shoulders this story stands. These feminine voices and written very convincingly from Chris Cleave, a male author. Each woman has a distinctive voice, thought pattern and role in the story. This is a moving and powerful read.
