Product Information

So many women - millions of women - live this kind of life. In a world where men are evil, men are rapists. Where being pretty is a curse because they'll notice you - not being pretty is a curse because then you are worthless. Life is pain. Life has no value. They'll kill your children and laugh while doing it. We close our eyes to these women's reality - and it's a current, modern reality - and in this book Cleave drags this painful truth into the light. The Other Hand does not fit into either of these two categories, and I'm afraid that the book's mystery generated by a clever publishing scheme has only served to make me think of itas a greedy, money-making 'meh' book that to be frank, I've already forgot half of what I was going to write about it and this book review is feeling a bit of a chore - I wasn't passionate about this book at all. Sarah’s relationship with Lawrence is odd, Charlie draws conclusions unbelieving for a four year old, and the ending is rushed and unmoving. There’s just this hokey feel to it that I couldn’t get past. I did have a purpose in writing the book, which was to tell a realistic story about what it’s like at certain times in certain parts of the world. My belief is that literature can help people to focus on some things about the world that need changing. Ending her recollection, Little Bee and the other women wait until a taxi comes to meet them, but the driver despises refugees and leaves them behind with no transportation. The four women begin walking down the highway until they meet a farmer named Mr. Ayres who gives them shelter in one of his farmhouses, even though he could face criminal penalties for doing so. That evening, with shelter and food, one of the other three women, Yevette, reveals that she had sex with one of the detention center officers in exchange for her release, but the man wanted to release several women at once so it would look like a clerical error. However, without paperwork, Little Bee and the others realize they are now illegal immigrants, even though they had wanted to enter the country legally. In the middle of the night, one of the women, who was severely traumatized, hangs herself. Little Bee wakes to find her body and realizes that there will inevitably be an investigation and policemen, so she leaves on foot in the middle of the night to find Andrew’s house.

No character was a surprise. Sarah is the young, strong, career-minded, wealthy, white, British woman who runs her own fashion magazine … struggling (ever-so-not-convincingly) with losing her former self as a "real" journalist . . . having a long-term affair with a man that began w/in 30 minutes of her meeting him . . . having a husband that kills himself after that "terrible choice" on that "fateful day" on the beach in Nigeria, where they were trying to "save their marriage" . . . having a son who ever-so-quirkily will only dress in Batman costume and insists on being called Batman (and who, at four or five, can’t seem to speak beyond the level of a 2-1/2 year old). I couldn’t stand her. Sarah comes to learn some very important life lessons from Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee and orphan. Little Bee escapes the horrors of Nigeria and a detention center and finds her way to the middle of an idyllic white setting, where Cleave puts her on a mission to absolve guilt and change lives. Polite Bee: Buzzbee seems to have totally forgotten his manners. When Miss Ladybird announces she has a treat for the two best-behaved children, he worries he'll miss out. [S] S1 Ep61A character tells another that giving ten percent (of your income) “is the cost of doing business. Ten per cent buys you a stable world to get on with your life in. Here, safe in the West. That’s the way to think of it. If everyone gave ten per cent, we wouldn’t need to give asylum.” Using alternating first-person perspectives, the novel tells the stories of Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee, and Sarah O'Rourke (née Summers), a magazine editor from Surrey. Buzzbee Cleans Up: Animated series. Buzzbee and Barnabee are horrified at the mess in the playground, then realise they made it. They clean up, then campaign to keep it clean. [S] S1 Ep18 Don't Have Fun Without Me: An animated series for preschool children about a young hedgehog. Happy loves his naps, but he hates missing out on fun times more. [S] S1 Ep23

A question: I wrote about the book to a Nigerian e-friend. She teaches at a university, is very fluent in English, but had never heard of it. (I’m sending her my book.)–What is the situation there with your book? Do you know of any impact it has made there?

The characters are well-drawn, complex and flawed; and the plot is simple but anchored in questions of morals versus convenience, courage versus fear, first world questions versus third world realities, childhood versus adulthood, true identity versus concealing aliases. Hello Ann – re your question about italics: I use them for a variety of effects, and often to indicate a shift in register rather than to imply emphasis. For example I might have one of my characters think to themselves: “My husband was the kind of guy people called a quiet hero”– with the italics signifying that the character recognises the phrase as a journalistic shorthand, rather than a description she might have used herself. In this case I would be using italics to denote a register somewhere between first person monologue and reported speech. In other cases I use italics to delineate reported speech within dialogue, when it would get messy to use nested quotation marks. And in other cases still, I use them simply to indicate the intent of a line in dialogue. For example, “That’s my baby, Angela!” means something rather different from “That’s my baby, Angela!”

I loved Little Bee but I did not feel any affection for the adults in this novel and once they were introduced things went down hill dramatically, what came afterward seemed like it was written by a different author. There were far too many events that made no sense and did nothing but detract from the story. You have seen trouble too, Sarah. You are making a mistake if you think it is unusual. I am telling you, trouble is like the ocean. It covers two thirds of the world.’” Buzzbee's Secrets: Buzzbee has earnt a reputation for not being able to keep a secret. The final straw comes when he accidentally tells Jasper what his birthday present is. [S] S1 Ep55 a b Urquhart, James (22 August 2008). "The Other Hand, by Chris Cleave". The Independent. London.
