Half a World Away by Mike Gayle


Again Mr Gayle gives us another emotional rollercoaster of a ride in this tale of family, love and loss and how the roots that connect us are deeper than we can ever truly know...


...written from the points of view of Kerry and Noah, which Gayle does extremely well, we get to understand the complexities of the two characters and the very different paths that life has offered them. 


We become submerged in their highs and lows, we get to know and genuinely feel for their situations and how their very different upbringings influence the way they cope with life's many obstacles.
There is a great deal to love about this story, it is uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time and I will happily say....



...yes I cried.
