Little Bee by Chris Cleave, 271 pages, © 2008.
Little Bee, smart and stoic, knows two people in England, journalists she chanced upon on a Nigerian beach after fleeing a massacre in her village. After sneaking into England and escaping a rural "immigration removal" center, she arrives at her London home only to find that the violence that haunts her has also poisoned them. In an unnerving blend of dread, wit, and beauty, Cleave slowly and arrestingly excavations the full extent of how horror binds people together.
