Augusta Hope is just a bit different. The things she likes doing and learning about are just not the same as those around her. She is a little more observant, a bit more interested in everything that she does. Augusta has a twin, Julia, they grow up in parallel lives but as they get older things begin to change. Sisters who once shared everything with each other begin to have their own secrets. Julia needs a bra first, gets a boyfriend first and Augusta begins to realise they may not be quite so close as they once were.
We then meet Parfait. In Burundi where there are many problems with the government and safety. He lives a completely contrasting life to Augusta trying to protect his family and do his best to survive. He sets out a journey to change his life forever.
We follow the pair throughout their time, learning, growing and changing into adults. This book is beautiful and such a lovely read.
