The Half Life Of Hannah - Amazon UK 59p
If your first love came back to offer you everything you ever dreamed of, what would you do?
Hannah is thirty-eight and the happily married mother of eleven-year-old Luke, the diamond in her world. Her marriage is reassuringly stable, and after fifteen years she has managed to push the wild dreams of youth from her mind and concentrate on the everyday satisfactions of here and now. The first half of her life hasn’t been as exciting as she had hoped, but then, she reckons, whose has?
When she succeeds in convincing husband Cliff to rent a villa in the south of France for a summer vacation with her sister Jill, and gay friend Tristan, she’s expecting little more than a pleasant few weeks with her family.
But they each have their own baggage – their own secrets – ready to explode on this not-so-relaxing holiday in France.
When a phone call at the villa announces the imminent arrival of a ghost from her past the ambiance is transformed into a raging sea of jealousy as Hannah is forced to question everything she thought she knew and believed.
But is she brave enough to take the life-changing decisions her future happiness requires?
My Thoughts
This book was a slow starter for me, think I was reading around a chapter a day. But once I hit around half way through I really wanted to know all the secrets.
You get to feel the dynamics of the family's and friendships which is why I think it was a slow starter, but it serves the book well in the end because you get to know the characters and what roles they play.
I liked all the characters, they all felt real and acted the way I would of expected. I liked all the different relationships and how everyone interacted.
I liked the story once it all started to unravel, overall was simple there wasn't too much to it really, it was an enjoyable easy read. The ending I did like I think it suited the story well.
How many times have I said like in this review...think that sums it up really, I Liked this book, it was fine, it isn't going to change my life in anyway and hasn't really left me with anything to think about...but I liked it.
I would give it 2.5/5
