About this book

Español

Con el corazón en la mano

Andrew y Sarah, una pareja de periodistas ingleses, viajan a una playa africana para superar una grave crisis matrimonial. Allí conocen a Little Bee y a su hermana, testigos no deseados de una matanza, y se interponen para salvarlas ante las fuerzas del orden nigerianas. Dos años después, Little Bee, ya con dieciséis años, sale de un centro para inmigrantes ilegales en Inglaterra y se presenta en casa de Sarah el día del funeral de Andrew. Nace entonces una relación difícil y enriquecedora entre dos mujeres de mundos opuestos, con Charlie, disfrazado de Batman, luchando contra los malos.

English

Little Bee

Andrew and Sarah, two English journalists, travel to an African beach hoping to save their troubled marriage. Instead, they meet Little Bee and her sister, unwilling witnesses to a massacre, and intervene to protect them from Nigerian security forces. Two years later, a sixteen-year-old Little Bee leaves a detention center for undocumented immigrants and appears at Sarah's door on the day of Andrew's funeral. From that encounter grows a difficult but transforming friendship between two women from utterly different worlds, joined by Sarah's small son Charlie, who fights evil dressed as Batman.
