Half a World Away by Mike Gayle
4.0
Half a World Away is a story of two very different lives and brings up the question of opportunity and achievement. What kind of life could Kerry have had if she'd been given different opportunities in life? With her half brother Noah being happily married and a successful barrister and Kerry being a single mother making ends meet as a cleaner, their lives couldn't be more different.
This book explores family in many forms and what it means. It makes you think about what really matters and what makes a family. The author writes so well about the importance of finding a sense of identity and a place to belong.
Oh my goodness Mike Gayle really does play with your emotions in this book and there are some really heart-breaking moments. However, despite that, it's a really heart-warming book too about the love and support of family.
