And then she reconnects with Jack from college—kind, funny, intelligent Jack—and suddenly Mira feels as if she might have found her soulmate. They've woven their lives together so thoroughly; all that remains is for Jack to meet her family: her beloved father and dear sister Joy. But when Joy commits an unthinkable act of betrayal, the sisters are impossibly fractured and their father's heart is broken. As the sisters navigate their tumultuous relationship and Mira starts over, it turns out that Joy isn't the only one who has been—or continues to be—dishonest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn a propulsive story of love and passion and the ultimate pull of family, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSisters of a Halved Heart\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eexamines the lengths we will go to in order to make our own narratives of love work out, the lies we tell ourselves, and the ways in which the truth, often right in front of you, can be impossible to see.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionPanel___wCiv7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panelContent___B_vGb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNayantara Roy\u003c\/strong\u003e’s debut novel, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Magnificent Ruins, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewas a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Editor’s Choice novel of 2024, an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLA Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Editor’s Pick, a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Best Book, a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Magazine Best Book and an Apple best debut among others.
