THE OTHER HAND PB – CHRIS CLEAVE

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.
