Little Bee by Chris Cleave

This is how the book jacket for this book reads:

"We don't want to tell you what happens in this book. It is a truly special story and we don't want to spoil it...

This is the story of two women. Their lives collide one fateful day, and one of them has to make a terrible choice, the kind of choice we hope you never have to face. Two years later, they meet again..."

This novel is about politics, ethics, refugees, friendship, moral responsibility, plus how terrible human beings can be to each other. It is truly shocking, and certainly raises questions in your mind which linger after the book is read. I didn't really like Sarah, one of the two female narrators, but that statement alone is worth exploring further to find out why I reacted that way.

I'm not entirely sure what happened at the end, either. I just know Sarah made another bad decision.
