Half a Life Away

A childhood silence destroyed an entire family. Daniel Pearson, a celebrated mixed-race documentary filmmaker in London, hasn't returned to South Africa in twenty-five years—not since his father's lie tore apart the lives of the people closest to him. When a handmade bracelet and a dying woman's plea arrive in the post, Daniel is forced back to Johannesburg to confront his oldest friend, now imprisoned and bitter, and a betrayal far deeper than he ever imagined. Some debts can't be repaid, only reckoned with.
