Half a World Away

De: Mike Gayle

Narrado por: Kayi Ushe, Joanna Brookes

From the author of The Man I Think I Know.

Strangers living worlds apart.

Strangers with nothing in common.

But it wasn't always that way....

Kerry Hayes is a single mum, living on a tough south London estate. She provides for her son by cleaning houses she could never hope to afford. Taken into care as a child, Kerry cannot ever forget her past.

Noah Martineau is a successful barrister with a beautiful wife, daughter and home in fashionable Primrose Hill. Adopted as a child, Noah always looks forward, never back.

When Kerry reaches out to the sibling she lost on the day they were torn apart as children, she sets in motion a chain of events that will have life-changing consequences for them both.

By turns funny and moving, Half a World Away is a story that will stay with you long after you listen its powerfully emotional, heart-breaking final minute.

What a Read

This book made me teary-eyed on so many occasions. It is so heartfelt and the storyline is raw and moving. I appreciated the cultural connections and how it handled grief. Definitely recommend!

Heartfelt story of relationships

This is a heartfelt story of relationships, family and friends. I really enjoyed getting to know the personalities and the nuances of relationships.

Just beautiful

I am so glad I gave this one a go. It was all the feels. And just what I needed 💛

Beautiful Story

Great characters in a sweet and touching story
Moments of great humor despite very tough obstacles
A feel good read about an ordinary woman with an extraordinary capacity for love.
My only complaint was the voice of Jason/Noah - not what I felt went with the man described
At any rate, I still recommend

Good story & amazing narration

The narration draws you in. Then the story opens up more & more all the way to the end. Loved it! One of my new favorites!
