THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERSHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD'A powerful piece of art'Independent'Exquisitely balanced between terrible sadness and brilliant humour'Observer'Immensely readable and moving'New York TimesWe 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.'Big themes, high emotion and cliffhangers aplenty . . . an enormously affecting investigation of love, guilt and global responsibility, told with a bittersweet urgency'Guardian

Recensioner i media

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.
