ON THE MORNING THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING, Aruna Ahmed Jones walks out of her ground-floor Victorian apartment in London wearing only jeans and a T-shirt, carrying nothing more than a handbag, and keeps on walking. Leaving behind the handsome Dr. Patrick Jones, her husband of less than a year, Aruna boards a plane bound for Singapore and her old life. Educated and beautiful, she has a desperate need to risk it all. But why? Waiting for her is a messy past, a story left unfinished-until now.
Aruna is not running away from home; she's running back to the home she always had. Before her father, the only family she'd ever known, passed Before she tried, and failed, to create a life and family with her best friend and lover, Jazz. Before her doctor delivered a complicated psychological diagnosis she'd rather forget. After years of fleeing the ghosts that continue to haunt her, Aruna is about to discover that running away is the easy part; it's coming home that is hard. Spanning the world from London to Singapore to India and back again, Half Life is a richly layered tale of love and conflict, friendship and sacrifice, the luminous story of a young woman who risks everything in order to find where she truly belongs.
