Описание: | The publishers of Chris Cleave`s new novel 'don`t want to spoil' the story by revealing too much about it, and there`s good reason not to tell too much about the plot`s pivot point. All you should know going in to Little Bee is that what happens on the beach is brutal, and that it braids the fates of a 16-year-old Nigerian orphan (who calls herself Little Bee) and a well-off British couple-journalists trying to repair their strained marriage with a free holiday-who should have stayed behind their resort`s walls. The tide of that event carries Little Bee back to their world, which she claims she couldn`t explain to the girls from her village because they`d have no context for its abundance and calm. But she shows us the infinite rifts in a globalized world, where any distance can be crossed in a day-with the right papers-and 'no one likes each other, but everyone likes U2.' Where you have to give up the safety you`d assumed as your birthright if you decide to save the girl gazing at you through razor wire, left to the wolves of a failing state. |
