Home Fire (Paperback) by Kamila Shamsie

Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie is a gripping, thought-provoking novel that explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the consequences of choices in the modern world. The story centers around the Pasha family, whose lives are torn apart by the radicalization of one of its members. As Isma, the eldest daughter, navigates the balance between family duty and personal aspirations, her younger siblings, Aneeka and Parvaiz, face their own struggles with love, sacrifice, and a legacy of political and personal turmoil.

Drawing on the ancient tragedy of Antigone, Shamsie’s novel is a powerful meditation on the impact of global politics on individual lives, particularly within Muslim communities in the West. Home Fire is a poignant exploration of the complexities of belonging, family, and the tensions between the personal and the political.
