Reading Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie

In this powerful and timely novel, Kamila Shamsie reimagines Sophocles’ Antigone in a modern world of immigration, radicalization, and loyalty. Home Fire follows three British Muslim siblings whose lives are upended when their brother disappears to join ISIS — setting off a chain of events that pits love against politics, faith against law, and family against the state. Lyrical, urgent, and deeply human, this novel raises searing questions about identity, belonging, and the cost of standing by the people you love.
Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction. Perfect for fans of thought-provoking, character-driven stories with emotional and political depth.
