What a treasure of a book. From holding the book in your hand, with the beautiful hard back cover, creatively and sensitively decorated to the last page this book is a pleasure.
Augusta and Julia “Justa” are twins, they grow up together and are inseparable and like one. However, like most brothers and sisters they are unique and different inspire of their physical similarities. The book charts their entrance into adulthood. Every other chapter takes us to Burundi, another world, where in a parallel universe other siblings have similar dreams and desires to Augusta. As the book progresses Parfait (from Burundi) and Augusta’s lives intersect like the cross on the Burundi flag.
This book is about hope, about love - in all its forms -, about how although we may seem different we are all looking for the same thing.
Do read this book, you won’t be disappointed.
