About this deal

I didn't really feel like I could identify with any of the characters. Little Bee was a bit of an anomaly, being where she's been and where she is now. I found it hard to really understand her, even though it's apparent that she's meant to bridge the gap between her world and ours and allow us to empathize for those enduring such cruelty. But I didn't GET her, even though I mostly liked her and had my fingers crossed that she'd be OK. Sarah wasn't much better for me, either. I could understand her better, but I didn't like her. I thought that she was incredibly selfish and uncaring in her "Suburban Early-30s Professional" life. The way she derailed Little Bee's story with her own petty concerns and tedious details (those about her career and Lawrence) annoyed me. I understand the point to the story, I do, I just didn't care because I didn't much like her. She did grow up and mature over the course of the book, but the damage was done. The girls were being pursued by soldiers who had burned down their village and intended for there to be no witnesses left alive. The soldiers arrived and murdered a guard from the O'Rourkes' hotel, but offered to spare the lives of the girls if Andrew would amputate his own middle finger with a machete. Afraid, and believing the soldiers would murder the girls anyway, Andrew refused, but Sarah complied in his place. The soldiers took both girls away, leaving the couple in doubt as to whether the soldiers would leave one girl alive in response, as they promised. ... Little Bee is the younger of two Nigerian sisters fleeing the horrors of the Nigerian oil wars. They hide and change their names, so they won’t be identified as coming from a particular village. Big sister becomes Kindness, while little sister becomes Little Bee. Little Bee is determined to speak and behave “English” so she can blend in later.

I think that perhaps, it may have something to do with this book not quite 'ringing true'. The event itself doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But again, I can't talk about it. Sarah’s relationship with Lawrence is odd, Charlie draws conclusions unbelieving for a four year old, and the ending is rushed and unmoving. There’s just this hokey feel to it that I couldn’t get past. The Big Push and Pull: Mr Millipede forgets to charge the new eco-electric car up before he gives it a test run and it ends up stranded. [S] S2 Ep68 I love your feminine voice–Carl Gustav Jung would have loved it too, showing the power of individuation!’ Grandma Bee Gets Some Help: Grandma Bee really needs a trolley to make shopping easier for her so Buzzbee helps her see that change can be a good thing. [S] S2 Ep39Hi Tony, that’s a good question. In a way the novel is all about identity: that which we are born with and that which we choose to assume.

Buzzbee's Big Film: Buzzbee turns filmmaker for the day when he decides to direct his very own documentary. [S] S1 Ep39 The Other Hand, also known as Little Bee, is a 2008 novel by British author Chris Cleave. It is a dual narrative story about a Nigerian asylum-seeker and a British magazine editor, who meet during the oil conflict in the Niger Delta, and are re-united in England several years later. Cleave, inspired as a university student by his temporary employment in an asylum detention centre, wrote the book in an attempt to humanise the plight of asylum-seekers in Britain. The novel examines the treatment of refugees by the asylum system, as well as issues of British colonialism, globalization, political violence and personal accountability.

The Other Buzzbee: When Buzzbee finds himself torn between two commitments, he learns that honesty is the best policy. [S] S1 Ep38
