The Other Half of You - Michael Mohammed
Ahmad
The Other Half of You Michael Mohammed Ahmad,
'I
only ever asked you for one thing,' my
father said, a quiver in his voice. 'Just this one thing.' It was as though I had smashed the
Ten Commandments.
'Oh father,' I cried, grovelling at his ankles while my mother and siblings looked on. 'The
one thing you asked of me - is everything.'
Bani Adam has known all his life what was expected of him. To marry the right kind of girl. To make
the House of Adam proud.
But Bani wanted more than this - he wanted to make his own choices. Being the first in his
Australian Muslim family to go to university, he could see a different way.
Years later, Bani will write his story to his son, Kahlil. Telling him of the choices that were made on
Bani's behalf and those that he made for himself. Of the hurt he caused and the heartache he
carries. Of the mistakes he made and the lessons he learned.
In this moving and timely novel, Michael Mohammed Ahmad balances the complexities of
modern love with the demands of family, tradition and faith.
