Elegant and evocative ... A powerful exploration of the clash between society, family and faith in the modern world` Guardian
`There is high, high music in the air at the end of Home Fire` New York Times
Isma is free. After years spent raising her twin siblings in the wake of their mother`s death, she is finally studying in America, resuming a dream long deferred. But she can`t stop worrying about Aneeka, her beautiful, headstrong sister back in London – or their brother, Parvaiz, who`s disappeared in pursuit of his own dream: to prove himself to the dark legacy of the jihadist father he never knew.
Then Eamonn enters the sisters` lives. Handsome and privileged, he inhabits a London worlds away from theirs. As the son of a powerful British Muslim politician, Eamonn has his own birthright to live up to – or defy. Is he to be a chance at love? The means of Parvaiz`s salvation? Two families` fates are inextricably, devastatingly entwined in this searing novel that asks: what sacrifices will we make in the name of love?
A contemporary reimagining of Sophocles` Antigone, Home Fire is an urgent, fiercely compelling story of loyalties torn apart when love and politics collide – confirming Kamila Shamsie as a master storyteller of our times.
