The Other Half of Augusta Hope

This book was an unexpected delight. I have to say I struggled a bit at the beginning as I found the way it was written, through Augusta's eyes quite childlike but as the story developed, along with the age of Augusta so too did the writing. It was this writing style that allowed me to grow alongside Augusta and become emotionally involved with her story. I loved the themes that weaved throughout the book: death, sadness, lose which were equally balanced by hope, dreams, love and belonging. I have to confess I ended up sobbing bucketful of tears during sections of this book. If a novel can evoke such strong emotions within then for me that is the sign of a good book and powerful author. I look forward to reading more by Joanna Glen.
