The stunning new novel from the author of INCENDIARY.

The Other Hand

Shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and Costa Novel of the Year, this international bestseller has become a reading group classic. We don't want to tell you too much about this book. It is a truly special story and we don't want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn't. And it's what happens afterwards that is most important. Once you have read it, you'll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don't tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.

Little Bee es una refugiada de dieciséis años que acaba de ser liberada después de estar dos años en un centro para inmigrantes ilegales. No tiene a dónde ir y las únicas personas a las que conoce en Inglaterra son Andrew y Sarah, un matrimonio que conoció en Nigeria cuando fueron de vacaciones una vez. Pero algo pasó ese verano, algo que marcó la vida a todos. Tanto como para que Andrew se suicidara con solo saber que Little Bee iría a visitarlos.
Es una novela desgarradora y adictiva. Es una de esas historias que te explotan en la cara y que te cuentan realidades que uno ignora, que te hace reflexionar sobre el lugar en el que uno vive y todos los privilegios que tenemos. Se va a quedar conmigo por mucho tiempo.

This is the story of two women. Their lives collide one fateful day, and one of them has to make a terrible choice. Two years later, they meet again - the story starts there.
