Hi Karen, glad you enjoyed Little Bee – it sounds like you and I had similar reactions to the characters and the ending. I’ve never read Marian Keyes or Cecilia Ahern but I have patrons and friends who are fans of one or the other – I will be sure to let them know about a possible new author for them. Thanks!

Happy Holidays! I did like Little Bee. Agreed that the end was alittle disappointing. Liked Little Bee a lot, sh was so brave, but the other characters made such dumb decisions over and over. I was frustrated with them! Not sorry I read it but for those with limited time for a book, it would not be at the top of my list! I then read A Year in the Merde, which if you liked all those Peter Mayle books, you will adore this one by Stephen Clarke. Now I am reading an early review of a new Marian Keyes book. Have you read her? Reminds me of Cecilia Ahern, whom I adore, takes place in Ireland, a bit fantastical. So far enjoyable. Will let you know!

Glad you’re enjoying it! And I continue to hear such great things about The Help that I’m really looking forward to reading it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it as well, Les. I think the character of Little Bee herself is what made this book so special.

Isn’t it a great cover? It reminded me of a cameo. I hope you enjoy the book!

I agree with SuziQ. It’s one of the best books I’ve read all year. I gave it a 4.5/5.

This sounds really good! REALLY REALLY good. I love the cover, too, with the shadow. Thanks for giving me a heads up on this one!

Glad to hear you enjoyed this one as well, Matt – if you’re like me, it’s rare to come across a book that you’d actually want to reread. Have you read his prior book, Incendiary?

I’m so glad you enjoyed reading this book, Lesley. It has remained so close to my heart because it’s one of the most powerful book that stroke my heart-chord. I cannot sing enough praises for his imaginative power to write this story. It’s on my re-reading shelf.
