REVIEWI haven't read anything from this author, before, but found this book interesting.  Our main character Hannah has what is considered a normal life, married, has a son and is somewhat happy with her life.  Her son, Luke is her pride and joy. She cares for  her husband CLiff  but their marriage is pretty much just the everyday actions that need to be done.  I didn't feel there was a lot to this marriage.Hannah and her family join Jill, her gay friend Tristan and her daughter Aisha for a family gathering.  Cliff has a brother but he comes along later in the story. Things are going well enough although the tension could be felt.I had  a little trouble with the book. It just didn't move along quick enough.  I was starting to get a bit bored.  It did pick up after a while. The author does a good job of describing the characters and scenes.  The author did take on some delicate issues in his book. but not in a "in your face" way but very delicate and tastefully.  I have to say, the book wasn't quite enough for me.  I felt it was a little dull but that 's just my opinion.  I would have liked a little more action between the characters.  The author did do a good job of raising awareness of a couple of tough issues.  He did it in a well written, sensitive way.  Not all authors can deal with these issues in such a waI was given a complimentary copy of THE HALF LIFE OF HANNAH by Nick Alexander from Fiction Addiction Book Tours for my view of the book.  No other compensation took place.
