6/24/2023 0 Comments The other hand little bee![]() ![]() ![]() Little Bee has a driver's license and business card belonging to Andrew O'Rourke, a white man she met on the beach two years ago in Nigeria. She is released from the adult detention center on a Friday morning in May 2007 with three other girls. Little Bee learns the Queen's English in an immigration detention center in Essex, England, where she has been held since 2005. English is the official language of her home country, Nigeria, but that version has other African languages blended in too. Little Bee learns the Queen's English in order to survive in England. Unlike her, coins travel freely and safely. Little Bee, who kicks off the story, wishes she was a British pound coin, instead of a Nigerian girl. Little Bee is narrated by Little Bee (not her real name) and Sarah (an English woman who you will meet in a minute) in alternating chapters. ![]()
