TWO SISTERS. THREE CONTINENTS. FOUR DECADES. ONE DEVASTATING SECRET…

Nasrin and Sabrina are two sisters, who on the face of things live successful and enviable lives in London and New York. When their father, Shamsur, suddenly dies, they rush to be with their mother at the family home and restaurant in Wales, and reluctantly step back into the stifling world of their childhood.

When Shamsur’s will is read, a devastating secret is revealed that challenges all that people thought and loved about him. It also profoundly changes the lives and identities of the sisters, and creates an irreparable family rift…

Moving between London, Wales, New York and Bangladesh, this is an epic family drama that spans over four decades. A story of mothers and daughters, of fathers and daughters, of sisterhood, it is a tale that explores belonging, family and what makes forgiveness and redemption possible.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"I loved this sweeping family drama. Moving and unforgettable." (Sarah Morgan, Sunday Times bestselling author)

"This novel is an absolute beauty, and already one of my favourites for 2022. Nilopar Uddin’s writing is entrancing, her characterisation, brilliant. In The Halfways, she has quite genuinely taken my breath away." (Jenny Ashcroft, bestselling author of Beneath a Burning Sky)

A wonderful enchanting story. Beautifully written and full of thought provoking realistic characters. Highly recommended.

Fantastic read

The Halfways is an excellent novel of general struggle, joy, trauma and redemption. The characters are wonderfully drawn and the plot ticks along. However, it is ruined by the terrible narration. The narrator was clearly not briefed in how to pronounce Sylheti. The language is a huge part of this novel and to hear it constantly butchered made this hard to listen to. I don’t know why the production company felt it was acceptable to cast someone who has no idea of pronunciation or syntax.

Amazing novel ruined by poor casting
