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.
