Home Fire - Thryft

Loyalties collide when love and politics intersect.

Home Fire delves into the issues of identity and belonging in a post-9/11 world. It is a gripping tale of family, love, and politics that explores the complexities of relationships between siblings, parents, and lovers. Readers will appreciate the way Kamila Shamsie brilliantly reimagines Sophocles' Antigone in a contemporary setting, creating a unique narrative that is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking.

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.
