The Other Half of Augusta Hope

This is the story of a young woman called Augusta Hope who first loses and then finds her other half. Born a twin, Augusta feels she doesn't fit in to the small town in England where her family are happy to live and dreams of escaping to more exotic places. She loves words and reading and asks too many questions.

Even her parents think she is weird and wonder why she can't be more normal like her twin Julia, who is her only friend and supporter. On the other side of the world, a young boy called Parfait is growing up amongst civil war and poverty and dreaming of a better life for himself and his family. Augusta and Parfait will both suffer unimaginable tragedies as they search for a place to be themselves and finally call home.
