Thanks to NetGalley and to HarperCollins UK/The Borough Press for providing me an ARC copy of this book that I freely chose to review.This is an achingly beautiful book, one of those books that you read and don’t want to finish because… well, because you know you won’t find many, if any, quite like it. And certain experiences are there to be savoured.The story starts with Augusta, one of a set of twins (her sister, Julia, was born on the 31st of July, therefore her name, and she was the second born, already on the 1st of August…) living in Britain, whose parents bought the first house in their neighbourhood, and who lead extremely conventional lives (their choice of names for their daughters seems to be the most adventurous thing they’ve ever done). Augusta —who narrates the story in the first person— and Julia are very close, although they are polar opposites (they look different, their attitudes to life are different, and other than their mutual affection, and their interest in Diego, a Spanish boy who moves to the same street, they seem to have little in common). Augusta loves words, reading the dictionary offers her comfort, her favourite poem is one about a pedlar [‘The Pedlar’s Caravan’ by William Brighty Rands], she sees herself travelling the world in a colourful caravan, when given the choice, she takes up Spanish at school —I love her teacher, Mr Sánchez— and starts chasing “el duende†(a concept difficult to translate, but something aficionados to flamenco music, singing, and dancing refer to when the experience of a performance reaches beyond aesthetic pleasure and enjoyment and transcends that, as if speaking directly to the soul), and decides to study far away from home, at Durham University. Her sister, by contrast, wants to make their parents happy, loves to live in their small town, become a nursery teacher, and marries her first boyfriend (the aforementioned Diego).Augusta picks a country, seemingly randomly, just because she likes the sound of it, Burundi, keeps track of the events there, and she feels compelled to keep a big folder of notes on any interesting news item she comes across about Burundi (because, let’s face it, Burundi does not often make the news). Something happens during a holiday in Spain when they are teenagers, which Augusta is no party to, and the whole family, especially her sister, seem changed by the experience, but they don’t tell her anything, and that makes her feel even more of an outsider.At the beginning of the book, I assumed that the other half of Augusta was her sister, but I was wrong (although yes, there is some of that as well). Some parts of the novel, alternating with those narrated by Augusta, are narrated by Parfait, a boy, slightly older than Augusta, from Burundi. He has six siblings, and his life couldn’t be more different to Augusta’s, although readers will pick up similarities as well (the love for words and learning, the eagerness to travel and move away, although here easier to justify due to the circumstances his family and the whole country are going through). He also meets a wonderful Spanish character, a priest, Victor, who inspires him. As we read, we start to make connections and the magic of the book envelops us. But, don’t be mistaken. The book is magical, lyrical, beautiful, full of poetry (Augusta loves Federico GarcÃa Lorca’s poems and his plays, and there are many references and points of contacts with Yerma, La casa de Bernarda Alba (The House of Bernarda Alba), and Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding), and there are also references to other poems, cante jondo songs, music, dance, and paintings), but terrible things happen as well to the characters, and although not described in detail (they happen “off-the-pageâ€), they are hard and heart-wrenching. Some we are fully aware of at the time, some we only get to know in their entirety much later on. Like much of Lorca’s work, this is a book about death, grief, loss, and about topics as current as war-torn countries, migrants and refugees, race relations, Brexit, and families. But, there are wonderful and funny moments too, many touching ones (I did cry more than once reading this novel), and, well, the main character’s surname, Hope, is pretty becoming to the story as a whole.Augusta is a fabulous character, and so are all her family, and Parfait and his, and also the friends they both meet in Spain. (Oh, and Graham Cook and his family. They are priceless). The two narrators are, in some ways, mirror images of each other, or even better, like the positive and the negative of the same image, in old-style photography. None of the characters are perfect, (well, Parfait fits his name well), but all, even the secondary ones, are complex enough, with their good and their bad things (of course, we see them through the narrators’ eyes, but the two narrators are not trying to deceive us here, and this is not a story of unreliable narrators, at least not intentionally so. They might be mistaken in their judgements or impressions, but they never try to lead the reader down the garden path). The places, especially La Higuera, the house in Andalucia and the town around it, become characters in their own right, and the writing is fluid, and gorgeous. The ending is also pretty wonderful, in case you were wondering.I highlighted so much of the book that it was almost impossible to choose something to give you an idea of what the writing is like, but I’ve tried. In the first one, Augusta shares an anecdote that beautifully illustrates the different approaches to life of the two sisters.We were given tricycles, mine, yellow, and Julia’s, pink. Julia drew chalk lines on the drive and spent the day reversing into parking spaces. I rode out of the drive, turned left, curved around to number 13, at the top of the crescent, twelve o’clock, crossed the road precariously to the roundabout and drove my trike into the fishpond singing ‘We All Live in a Yellow Submarine’.There are places —aren’t there? Places which are so full of feeling you hardly dare return to them.‘Do you think our brains will gradually evolve to hold less and less information? And soon we’ll be Neanderthals again but with iPhones?’‘I suppose that could be a good definition of love,’ I said. ‘Crying for another person —like their pain is yours.’In sum, if you love quirky and wonderful characters, you want to read about Spain, Burundi, and poetry, you enjoy beautiful writing, and you don’t mind having a good cry, this is the book for you. Personally, I can’t recommend it enough. And I look forward to more novels by this author.
“‘So where is all that time, Augusta?’ he said. ‘Perhaps we’ll find it in heaven,’ I said, which was a surprising thing to say, and came out of my mouth without me thinking about it. ‘Or would it be hell?’ said Mr Sánchez. ‘If you found the past, all piled up by the side of the road. All the things you’d ever said. All the things you’d ever thought. All the things you’d ever done.’â€The Other Half of Augusta Hope is the first novel by British author and teacher of Spanish, Joanna Glen. In the beginning, the other half of Augusta Hope is, of course, her (by minutes) older twin sister, Julia. For twin sisters, they are very different, in appearance and character. “Julia, fair, quiet and contained, happy inside herself, inside the house, humming; and me, quite the opposite, straining to leave, dark, outspoken, walking in the wind, railing.â€Still, they are each other’s home, much more than the house at Number One Willow Crescent, Hedley Green. “You feel her tears before they fall – and you want to stop them, you so want to stop them, though you can’t, that’s the truth of it. You hear her laugh before it comes, and hearing her laugh makes you laugh too. Her lovely bright laugh. In this way, your twin is your home.â€But something in that lifelong connection breaks after a certain vacation morning in La Higuera, Spain. For a long time, Augusta just doesn’t know why. To Augusta, La Higuera feels more like home than Hedley Green, but it's where the sparkle disappeared from Julia’s eyes.Meanwhile, in Burundi, the never-ending violence and bloodshed and political upheaval has Parfait Nduwimana deciding that he will seek peace in Spain. His devoted younger brother, Zion does not hesitate to accompany him. Their plan is to walk to Tangiers, then borrow a boat to cross to what they are convinced will be paradise.With these twin narratives, Glen tells a story of two people whose need to escape eventually sees their paths cross, if ever so fleetingly at first. Glen’s characters are no stereotypes: they have depth and develop as they deal with life’s challenges. Young Augusta, precocious, fascinated with words and language, and given to unfiltered comments on life, is quirky and funny; adult Augusta, sometimes a bit prickly and insensitive, is not instantly appealing, but by the conclusion, is likely to have grown on the reader.Although the story progresses over some two decades from the nineties, with their attitudes and mindset, Stanley and Jilly Hope seem to be firmly stuck in the sixties. But Augusta wonders “isn’t it the job of mothers and fathers to love first, and to love equally, and to love better than their children? Or was I supposed to help them love me by being what they wanted me to be?†She realises for that she would need to be Julia.Glen’s prose is often exquisite: “Burundi Burundi Burundi. I said it so many times it stopped meaning anything. It was like the sea lapping against my mind†and “the hat-man with the ponytail moved to a stool over in the corner, and he closed his eyes, and he opened his mouth, and he started to sing, and his voice split up into strands, fraying, as if there was blood on his vocal cords, or in his heart. The man in the vest picked up his guitar, which turned out, indeed, to be a living thing, and a woman appeared from behind the curtain of a doorway, with a black shawl around her shoulders, holding her skirt. She started to dance†are examples.She gives her characters words of wisdom: “the people we like, and might even love, will still disappoint us – in the same way, I suppose, as we disappoint them†and insightful observations: “Our grieving was an exchange of cakes through the winter because sometimes the only things you can do in response to big things are small thingsâ€, also “‘It’s weird the way we keep our brains in our pockets now,’ I said. ‘Do you think our brains will gradually evolve to hold less and less information? And soon we’ll be Neanderthals again but with iPhones?’â€The plight of refugees, Spanish poetry, a hundred-year-old gypsy caravan, painted tin daffodils, and evocative art feature in this tale. Death and disability, resulting in copious grief and guilt and heartache, lends a rather dark and sad aspect to the middle of the story, but the uplifting ending is truly wonderful: hopeful and heart-warming.This unbiased review is from an uncorrected proof copy provided by NetGalley, Harper Collins Australia and The Borough Press. The erratic formatting in the kindle version of this review copy will doubtless have been corrected in the final version and does not really affect the reading experience.
