NOMINATING LIBRARY COMMENTS

A very moving book. It is beautifully written, thought-provoking, sometimes humorous, and although it deals with some horrific events, it is ultimately positive.

The Other Hand is a stirring example of the power of literature to foster the exploration of the consciousness of diverse characters without resorting to the conventions that inform many novels about the immigrant experience.

Powerful and thought provoking, Little Bee humanizes the pressing topics of globalization and violence through the voices of two unforgettable women, alternating wry humour and insights into the darkest areas of the soul.
