There, Little Bee and her sister, fleeing an oil war in their village, ask the couple to help them escape the men who want to kill them. Years before, after Sarah began an affair with Lawrence Osborn, she and Andrew took a holiday to Nigeria, paid for by a sponsor of the magazine that Sarah edits. Little Bee begins to explain the horror of the refugee to her Western audience: she knows that “horror in your country is something you take a dose of to remind yourself that you are not suffering from it” (45), but for her and her fellow-refugees, horror is something they live with every day.Īfter Little Bee shows up at Sarah and Andrew’s house on the day of his funeral, with his driver’s license in hand, Little Bee and Sarah slowly unravel the events that have brought them together. The four wander to a farm where one, traumatized by her memories, hangs herself. Yevette, a spirited Jamaican girl, bribes a guard with her body, and he releases her, Little Bee, and two other girls into the countryside with no further assistance.
