The New Lebanon Book Group has selected Little Bee by Chris Cleave for its next discussions. The book, which follows the aftermath of a horrific encounter experienced by a young teenager and a British magazine editor on a beach in Nigeria, will be discussed twice – on Sunday, April 18, at 11 am at Hitchcock House B & B on Route 22 in New Lebanon and again on Thursday, May 6, at 7 pm at the New Lebanon Library, 550 Route 20 in New Lebanon.
Recommended by the Library Journal for all libraries and book clubs, Little Bee is filled with humor, dramatic tension and moral dilemmas that provide much fodder for discussion. Prize winning author Chris Cleave was short-listed for the prestigious Costa Award for Best Novel for Little Bee.
