Half a World Away by Mike Gayle

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

 Half a World Away centres on a brother-sister relationship that was broken by the foster system and adoption. Kerry and Noah manage to reconnect as adults. Themes of class, race, the meaning of family, and the way the past shapes us are strong as are deficiencies in the foster system. I loved Kerry’s strength as a mother, the way Noah grew over the course of the story, and the warmth of the family relationships.
