Críticas
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. - Independent Exquisitely balanced between terrible sadness and brilliant humour. - Observer Big themes, high emotion and cliffhangers aplenty... an enormously affecting investigation of love, guilt and global responsibility, told with a bittersweet urgency. - Justine Jordan, Guardian Searingly eloquent. - Daily Mail An ambitious and fearless gallop from the jungles of Africa via a shocking encounter on a Nigerian beach to the media offices of London and domesticity in leafy suburbia...Cleave immerses the reader in the worlds of his characters with an unshakable confidence. - Lawrence Norfolk, Guardian totally believable... the author has a knack of explaining human suffering... I look forward to his next offering. - Daily Express impresses as a feat of literary engineering... the plot exerts a fearsome grip. - Daily Telegraph An exhilarating, disturbing read. - James Urquhart, Independent (Books of the Year)
