Reviews

'A powerful piece of art... shocking, exciting and deeply affecting...[a] superb novel... Besides sharp, witty dialogue, an emotionally charged plot and the vivid characters' ethical struggles, The Other Hand delivers a timely challenge to reinvigorate our notions of civilized decency.' - Independent


 


'Exquisitely balanced between terrible sadness and brilliant humour.' - Observer


 


'Big themes, high emotion and cliffhangers aplenty... an enormously affecting investigation of love, guilt and global responsibility, told with a bittersweet urgency.' - Justine Jordan, Guardian


 


'Searingly eloquent.' - Daily Mail
