Where's the Good Editor When You Need One?

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing Material place.
-Emily Dickinson

Im dismayed that I cant wholeheartedly recommend a book solely for the blatant misuse and abuse of the "f" word. Here we have a powerful story that needs to be told. A story of the power of the human spirit for survival and the goodness of people to help and love one another under the most dire of circumstances...its a story that the world should never tire of hearing. And to tell a story with such beautiful words and with such wit and humor (at times), but having to flinch at the use of the 'f' word more than I deem necessary...is too, too bad.
Here is the description from the back cover of the book.
"British couple Andrew and Sarah O'Rourke, vacationing on a Nigerian beach in a last ditch effort to save their marriage, come across Little Bee and her sister, Nigerian refugees fleeing from machete-welding soldiers intent on clearing the beach. The horrific confrontation that follows changes the lives of everyone involved in unimaginable ways. Two years later, Little Bee appears in London on the day of Andrews funeral and reconnects with Sarah. Sarah is struggling to come to terms with her husbands recent suicide and the stubborn behavior of four year old son who refuses to take off his Batman costume. The tenuous friendship between Sarah and Little Bee that grows, is challenged, and ultimately endures in the heart of this emotional, tense, and often hilarious novel."

I recommend this book-but it comes with a disclaimer for the offensive language sprinkled throughout the story.
