Half the Way Home: A Memoir of Father and Son

Half the Way Home: A Memoir of Father and Son by Adam Hochschild
English | November 1st, 2017 | ASIN: B004H1U2L0, ISBN: 0670809608, 061843920X | 251 Pages | EPUB | 0.40 MB

A New York Times Notable Book: “An extraordinarily moving portrait of the complexities and confusions of familial love” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times).

From the author of the bestselling King Leopold's Ghost, this haunting and deeply honest memoir tells of Adam Hochschild's conflicted relationship with his father, the head of a multinational mining corporation. The author lyrically evokes his privileged childhood on an Adirondack estate, a colorful uncle who was a pioneer aviator and fighter ace, and his first explorations of the larger world he encountered as he came of age in the tumultuous 1960s. But above all this is a story of a father and his only son and of the unexpected peace finally made between them.
