The Other Hand
’, or ‘Little Bee’ (USA title), is a very moving book focussed on how human beings of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds react to sudden and terrible adversity. Two years before the events of the novel, the two main characters meet on a beach in Nigeria where truly horrific things happen to them. The events that surround their second meeting are unpredictable but make forvery compelling reading. Hard to put down.
