The Other Half of You Michael Mohammed Ahmad

HACHETTE

From the Miles Franklin-shortlisted author of The Lebs, Michael Mohammed Ahmad’s new novel reprises the character Bani Adam. Bani knows what’s expected of him as the son of Arab migrants – to marry the right kind of girl. But as the first of his Australian Muslim family to go to university, he sees there is an alternative way. A moving and timely novel about balancing the complexities of modern love with the demands of family, tradition and faith.

A love story with a difference.
