September 9th Little Bee!





The book club will be hosted by:

Jay Bonner
5427 W. Winston Dr.
Laveen AZ 85339
7:00pm Friday

 Discussion Questions 
  1. Why do you think Andrew refused to cut off his finger but Sarah was able to? Do you think you would have?
  2. Do you think Little Bee is as culpable in Andrew's death as he was in her sister's?
  3. Suicide comes up several times in the novel. Do you think there is a difference in the refugee's suicide in the barn and Andrew's?
  4. Why do you think it is a comfort to Little Bee to imagine how she would kill herself in each new place she goes? Why don't you think she killed herself in the end?
  5. Does Sarah's discovery of Andrew's research and possible book redeem him at all in your eyes? Who did you like better, Andrew or Lawrence?
  6. Did you learn anything new about the oil wars in Nigeria? What will you do with that knowledge?
  7. Did you learn anything new about the way refugees are treated in Britain? What will you do with that knowledge?
  8. In what ways are we culpable for the real life Little Bees if we choose to move on after hearing stories like this?
  9. Why do you think Little Bee feels hope at the end of the novel despite her dire circumstances?
