One of my favorite novels that I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate is Little Bee, written by Chris Cleave. Little Bee is about the hardships of being an African immigrant during tough times in Nigeria. Though I have already finished the novel multiple times, I still enjoy rereading the story. Not only is it inspiring and extremely hard to put down, but the novel is also based off of a true event. I chose this novel not only because my mom recommended it for me, but also because I enjoy reading realistic fiction. Realistic fiction puts a lot of life into perspective, and illustrates how there is always someone in the world that has a harder life than you and I do.
