Publisher's Summary
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.

Provocative
Powerful ending…not what you expect. Leaves you feeling bewildered at all the complexities of being human.

Excellent Book
I loved this book!!
It was very interesting and engaging the whole way through as someone who doesn’t often read or listen to books it’s gotten me excited to read more :)
I found myself connecting to the characters and experiencing the emotional roller coaster that is this narrative.
I highly recommend

From another perspective
It was refreshing to read a story from other than the standard Western (priveledged) perspective.
It was a challenging read at times but very worthwhile.
This would make a powerful film.

Engaging
I found this novel very engaging and the narration to be good too, much more differentiation between voices than some other narrators and a lovely speaking voice throughout. The novel itself was quite interesting, something I wouldn’t normally read but was assigned for uni and although it is quite tragic I think it really is a good read/listen and the multiple POVs kept my interest and gave a much more broad perspective. Would recommend
