About this listen

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.

What an amazing plot!The narration could have been better though.That would add a lot to the lovely story.There were so many undercurrents which were not effectively conveyed due to the droning narration.I was zoning out in the beginning and had to really focus to get into it.I think I will have to read the book to get a deeper understanding

poignant!

Exquisitely written moving story. Captures the interiority of the characters with empathy and conveys it with wit and imagination.

The narrator enhanced the beauty of the story of characters entangled in a history not of their own making.

Highly recommended for every listener/reader/writer.

Amazing story, superb narration
