    "Las manos pequeñas se encuadra en esa selecta nómina a la que pertenecen títulos como Los Chicos Terribles de Cocteau, o El Señor de las Moscas de William Golding, retratos sin complacencias de la infancia, conmovedores e inquietantes por igual, tan bruscos como líricos, a imagen y semejanza de esa etapa de la vida que Sartre denominó "la edad de la violencia." Marina, de siete años, recién ingresada en un orfanato tras la muerte accidental de sus padres, se convertirá para todas sus compañeras en la admirada y la excluida, en la pauta que permitirá medir la vida que no se ha tenido y en el final del paraíso de la ingenuidad"--P. [4] of cover.

    In 1950s Quebec, French and English tolerate each other with precarious civility--much like Maggie Hughes' parents. Maggie's English-speaking father has ambitions for his daughter that don't include marriage to the poor French boy the next farm over. But Maggie's heart is captured by Gabriel Phénix. When she becomes pregnant at fifteen, her parents send the baby Elodie to an orphanage where she receives horrible treatment. Seventeen years later, Maggie, married to a businessman eager to start a family, cannot forget the daughter she was forced to abandon, and a chance reconnection with Gabriel spurs a wrenching choice. As time passes, the stories of Maggie and Elodie intertwine but never touch, until Maggie realizes she must take what she wants from life and go in search of her long-lost daughter, finally reclaiming the truth that has been denied them both
