A heartbreaking story of love, betrayal and devastating secretsMarried to a successful businessman, with a large house, a four-year-old daughter and another baby on the way, Sappho lives an enviable life. Yet a chance glimpse of a face from her past sends her reeling, uncovering potent memories she has never been able to share with anyone, and threatening her perfect life completely. Suddenly unable to care for her family, she begins a desperate search for the person she once fled from, and whose reappearance has had such an effect on her. Spanning three generations from 1970s Athens to present-day London, The Half-Known Life is a moving and intelligent story of the bonds that stay with us, no matter how drastically our lives may change.
