Shamsie drives this gleaming machine home in a manner that, if I weren’t handling airplane metaphors, I would call smashing ... Home Fire builds to one of the most memorable final scenes I’ve read in a novel this century.”  -Dwight Garner,The New York TimesAt last, Isma is free. After years of watching out for her younger siblings in the wake of their mother’s death, she’s accepted an invitation from a mentor in America that allows her to resume 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. When he resurfaces half a globe away, Isma’s worst fears are confirmed. Son of a powerful political figure, he has his own birthright to live up to — or defy."This is a haunting novel, full of dazzling moments and not a few surprising turns, that manages to be suspenseful despite its uneven momentum. When deep religious and political conflicts get personal in this story, beliefs and choices and agendas are inevitably on a fatal collision course. Home Fire blazes with the kind of annihilating devastation that transcends grief.”-Katherine Weber, The Washington PostWinner of the 2018 Women's Prize For FictionKamila Shamsiewrote In The City By The Sea, published by Granta Books UK in 1998. In 2000, Salt and Saffron led to Shamsie’s selection as one of Orange’s “21 Writers of the 21st Century,” and with her third novel, Kartography, Shamsie was again shortlisted
