HALF A WORLD AWAY

By the same fun and talented author as codes 95648 The Man I Think I Know and 95616 All the Lonely People, if you have not read a Mike Gayle book before, here is an uplifting and beautiful book about family, class, love, choices and sacrifice, about letting go and learning to hold on. Strangers living worlds apart, but it wasn't always that way. Kerry Hayes is a single mum living on a tough South London housing estate. She provides for her son by cleaning houses they could never afford. Taken into care as a child, she cannot forget her past. Noah Martineau is a successful barrister with a beautiful wife, daughter and home in fashionable Primrose Hill. Adopted as a young child, Noah never looks back. When Kerry contacts Noah, the sibling she lost on the day they were torn apart as children, she sets in motion a chain of events that will change both of their lives forever. A raw, beautiful and sad book which puts lots of things into perspective and makes you think about what is important in life. 358 page paperback.
