The Half-Life Of Hannah cover

In The Half-Life of Hannah, a summer vacation in France turns into a journey of self-discovery and emotional turmoil as past secrets resurface.

In The Half-Life of Hannah, we meet Hannah, a thirty-eight-year-old mother who seems to have it all—a stable marriage, a loving son, and a comfortable life. Yet, beneath the surface, she grapples with the remnants of her youthful dreams that never came to fruition. When she persuades her husband, Cliff, to rent a villa in the picturesque south of France for a summer getaway with her sister Jill and her friend Tristan, she anticipates a relaxing holiday filled with family bonding. However, the vacation takes an unexpected turn as each character brings their own emotional baggage and secrets into the mix.

As the days unfold, the arrival of a phone call heralds the return of a figure from Hannah's past, turning the idyllic setting into a cauldron of jealousy and introspection. Hannah is forced to confront her feelings and the choices she has made over the years. The vacation that was supposed to be a break from routine quickly becomes a catalyst for self-discovery and reevaluation. Can she navigate the tumultuous waters of her emotions and the complexities of her relationships?

The Half-Life of Hannah delves deep into themes of love, regret, and the pursuit of happiness. As Hannah grapples with her past and present, readers are invited to reflect on their own lives and the choices that shape their futures. This poignant story explores whether Hannah has the courage to embrace change and seek the happiness she truly deserves.
