Description
Isma is free. After years spent raising her twin siblings following their mother’s death, she is finally studying in America and resuming a long-deferred dream. Yet she cannot stop worrying about Aneeka, her beautiful, headstrong sister in London, or their brother Parvaiz, who has disappeared in pursuit of his own dream: proving 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. Could he be a chance at love, or the means of Parvaiz’s salvation? The fates of two families become inextricably and devastatingly entwined in this searing novel, which asks what sacrifices 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.
