About this listen

‘A therapeutic dose of high-strength emotion’ GUARDIAN

*JOANNA GLEN'S LATEST NOVEL MAYBE, PERHAPS, POSSIBLY IS OUT NOW*

Augusta Hope has never felt like she fits in.

At six, she’s memorising the dictionary. At seven, she’s correcting her teachers. At eight, she spins the globe and picks her favourite country on the sound of its name: Burundi.

And now that she's an adult, Augusta has no interest in the goings-on of the small town where she lives with her parents and her beloved twin sister, Julia.

When an unspeakable tragedy upends everything in Augusta's life, she's propelled headfirst into the unknown. She's determined to find where she belongs – but what if her true home, and heart, are half a world away?

‘It’s going to be all over every book club in Britain before you can say Burundi’ THE TIMES

Loved it to bits. Have told so many friends to read it. Quite an unexpected find. Stories about twins are always fascinating, not just because I have twin grandsons.

A gripping very original story.

This story was absolutely fabulous and beautifully written and narrated. I have enjoyed both of Joanna Glen’s books and if you don’t read them or listen to them - you have missed out!

Fabulous Book

I liked it all, especially the ending. I think it’s a perfect holiday book, but I can see that it would have some deeper things about it that might make it suitable for a book club.

Lovely little story

I listened to the Audible version of The Other Half Of Augusta Hope which was narrated by the wonderful voices of Stephanie Racine and Jude Owusu.

I always choose my audible books that have a character led story rather than a gripping thriller as I love to savour the story and get to know the characters over a period of weeks rather than an afternoon frantically page turning.

Augusta Hope is the most wonderful, observational, honest character that I fell for almost immediately. She narrates her story with an innocence and honesty that is both refreshing and emotional.

The story begins with Augusta looking back at her life, growing up in a small town in England with her twin sister Julia and her staid and uptight parents. She is different to her perfect twin, questioning everything and looking to escape her Suburban childhood as soon as she can.

This is a really slow burner but the narrators bring the story to life. It was absolutely mesmerising, beautiful in parts, heartbreaking in others.

I completely recommend the audible version of this story and can’t wait to see what the authors writes next
