Shortlisted for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. By the acclaimed winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction 2018. Soul mates from birth, Karim and Raheen finish one another's sentences, speak in anagrams and lie spine to spine. They are irrevocably bound to one another and to Karachi, Pakistan. It beats in their hearts - violent, polluted, corrupt, vibrant, brave and ultimately, home. As the years go by they let a barrier of silence build between them until, finally, they are brought together during a dry summer of strikes and ethnic violence and their relationship is poised between strained friendship and fated love.. Формат: Мягкая бумажная, 343 стр.
