The Other Hand |
This is the story of two very different women: one a successful, white business-woman, the other a Nigerian immigrant. The two meet, part, meet . . . well, read what happens after that and stay thinking about such situations for a long time after finishing this very powerfully written book.

The Other Hand |
A story very relevant to our times, shocking, exciting and deeply affecting. One fateful day, two women meet under terrible circumstance and two years later meet again also under terrible circumstances. Unfolding slowly, frequently referring back to that first meeting, the story of what happened is gradually revealed. At first you want to romp through it, that would be a mistake.You cannot help but become immersed in their situation. It is both funny and sad.
