Description

A boisterous tribute to her home town that crackles with the chaos of Pakistani political life - The Times

Deftly woven and provocative ... Shamsie s blistering humour and ear for dialogue scorches through their whirl of whisky and witticisms - Observer

You will notice very quickly that you re reading a book by someone who can write . Above all, Kartography is a love story. And if you re not sniffling by, or in fact on, page 113, you re reading the wrong book - Guardian
_______________

BY THE ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018
SHORTLISTED FOR THE JOHN LLEWELLYN RHYS PRIZE
_______________

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.
_______________

Perceptive, funny and poignant - Times Literary Supplement

A touching love story, with the city of Karachi beating at its heart - Daily Mail

A gorgeous novel of perimeters and boundaries, of the regions - literal and figurative - in which we re comfortable moving about and those through which we d rather not travel - Los Angeles Times
