Little Bee by Chris CleaveMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. I read Little Bee in two days--it's intense and absorbing. The whole secrecy part about "we don't want to tell you too much about this book" is completely unnecessary (and a tad annoying): the book stands on its own as a morally brave, devastating, but uplifting work without such marketing hoopla.
Reading Little Bee is a bit like getting hit in the stomach. The story raises moral issues that no one should have to face--but it's also funny and loving and redemptive.
Whew. I think I need some fluff!

And I also finished my first portfolio dress! I think it's a keeper, though Nate told me, "You look a little like Desmond Tutu in it--I think it's the square thing at the neckline." Why, thanks, honey!
Bad pic, but it'll do until I get a better one.
Fireworks a'poppin' already on the first year of legalization. Oh joy.

ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you chose for your dress! (And the Desmond Tutu comment made me laugh out loud :) Thank you so much for the sweet comment you left on the Portfolio Dress sew along that Chris and I did last year. That's one of the reasons I love blogging... helping other sewists. The positive feedback has me grinning :) Great job!
