Home Fire

"This book pulled me in with its girl-meets-boy story, but it quickly becomes something bigger and more complicated than I expected. With a range of perspectives and a plot that moves from Massachusetts to London to Syria and back, it’s a gutsy novel. I don’t want to give too much away – just pick it up and be swept into an absurdly readable tale of love and geopolitics."

"I thought Kamila Shamsie's Home Fire — a version of Antigone for the current world of paranoia, fake politics and terrorism — was so good."
