"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS--Little Bee

Christine's pick:  Little Bee, by Chris Cleave

Synopsis:
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--the story starts there...

Christine says:  Read as part of a book group.  A very interesting, eye-opening story as to the plight of people in Nigeria and the "dumb visitor" to the country.  An escape for freedom into perceived safety and the horror of ignorance on the part of the "savior."
