Check for bones in the fillets and place the big chunks of fish into the béchamel, stirring them in gently so the fish doesn’t break up too much.

Butter an ovenproof dish. Pour the fish and béchamel sauce into the dish and cover with spoonfuls of yam mash, gently spreading mash on top. Sprinkle a few cubes of butter on top. Place the dish in the oven, and cook for 20–30 minutes until it has a nice golden color and is bubbling.

NOVEL THOUGHTS

Lisa Salazar says Little Bee raised some provocative questions for her Bay Area Book Club of Houston: Members were divided on how they might have responded had they been in the same situation as Andrew, Sarah, and Little Bee in the scene on the beach. “Would we have reacted in the same way as Andrew or Sarah in the moment of crisis?” asks Salazar. “Would we have taken the bullet or not? If we were in Little Bee’s position, would we have watched the sister be dragged away, or would we have taken her place? As humans, we all think we will do the ‘right’ thing, but what was the right thing at that moment? In the end, would we have been an Andrew or a Sarah? These were the questions many of us asked ourselves.”

The novel also stimulated discussion about Little Bee’s experiences with violence and brutality at such a young age. “It brought to light the refugees’ experiences and their fight for self-preservation,” adds Salazar. “There was this sense of sadness among members of our club about Little Bee’s lost innocence.”
