The other hand

This is a TRULY SPECIAL STORY - to tell you what happens would spoil it ... Nevertheless, you need to know that 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. A haunting novel about the tenuous friendship that blooms between two disparate strangers--one an illegal Nigerian refugee, the other a recent widow from suburban London.
