Little Bee-Chris Cleave

This book was bad. I read it, and the plot kind of carried me along, but it was not good.
To add to the badness of this book, the back tells you that it's so amazing you shouldn't tell your friends the plot so as not to ruin it. False.
The story is about a Nigerian refugee and a British woman. The British woman vacations in Nigeria and runs into Little Bee, who is being chased by men who want to kill her. She cuts off her finger to save Little Bee. Later, Little Bee contacts her when she escapes to Britain.
This book was written by a British man. A British man. Trying to speak in the first person as a Nigerian teenage girl and a middle-aged British woman. What? Fail. Epic fail.
Yeah, don't read it.
