The other hand by Chris Cleave

This is the story of Little Bea, a Nigerian illegal immigrant and Sarah a high flying suburban magazine publisher. How their lives collide provides an amazing story of lives damaged by events in Nigeria and how the main characters cope with the aftermath in UK. The insight into the situation of an illegal immigrant was especially well drawn and little Bea was a very engaging 'heroine'.
It was a very well written book and a harrowing story with many elements and images which would make it work well for H personal studies
