From Tayari Jones, author of the New York Times best seller and Oprah’s Book Club pick An American Marriage, comes an intimate, powerful story of two sisters.

Identical twins Amelia and Camelia Hall were born with the same face, and that’s about it: By the time the girls were through school, the matching set of names could no longer contain them. Now there’s Cam, whose contrarian streak led her to a career in law, and Lia, who followed more closely in her parents’ footsteps with her dermatology practice and married-with-children lifestyle in Atlanta’s Glenwood Park.

But the bond between the sisters is deep and unshakable - Cam serves as the maid of honor on Lia’s wedding day and as her attorney 15 years later, when Lia’s life and the lives of her two teenage daughters are rocked by divorce. And two years after her separation, the dust is finally starting to settle. But in the hazy glow of their first years of marriage, Lia gifted her then-husband a precious, irreplaceable family heirloom, and she decides that now, she must do whatever she can to get it back, starting with breaking and entering.

In Half Light, Jones explores the complex, profound bond of family, both the family we’re born with and the family we choose, against the vibrant backdrop of present-day Atlanta.

Excellent narration. Hilarious delivery of the ins & out of family life. The highs. The lows. The ups & down of every day living. At the end of the day family is what matters most is the moral of this fantastically narrated short story.

A lot of history and a lot of character packed into a short story. It was intimate, heartfelt and at times funny.

Lots of Character

I read this because I LOVE Bahni Turpin. I could listen to her read the phone book and love it. My first home was in Grant Park which is two neighborhoods over from Glenwood Park so I loved the memories this story brought to mind. However, the story is very simple and very one dimensional. It is very much only a short story and definitely not worth a credit.

Good but not worth a whole credit

Good short story, and the perfect narration definitely made it even better. Bahni Turpin never disappoints.
