Rules For Visiting by Jessica Francis Kane

When 40-year-old gardener May receives a surprise windfall of one month of vacation from the university where she works, she decides to visit four old friends, each one from different periods of her life. 

A lovely, gentle story of growing older, looking back on life, changing and growing and trees. It felt a bit like a warm hug.

The Other Half of Augusta Hope by Joanna Glen

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?

This book wasn't what I expected from the blurb and I found it hard to get into. It was well written and I enjoyed it when I picked it up. I just couldn't read it for long. It was a bit hard to read at times and I think it was the wrong book for me at this time.
