Description

Warm and moving . . . Playing Games thoughtfully and elegantly considers what it means to be a sister, a mother and a writer Chloë Ashby, author of Wet Paint

A riveting and evocative tale of two sisters navigating love, loss and desires Zeba Talkhani, author of My Past is a Foreign Country

The remarkable debut novel from critically acclaimed writer Huma Qureshi: a poignant story of art and sisterhood, family, marriage and betrayal

Hana has a perfect job, a perfect home, a perfect marriage. It is her younger sister Mira who is a mess. But Hana wants children and her husband is hesitating, and perhaps her control is slipping.

Mira dreams of a creative life but she s stuck working at a local café. She hates her flatmate and Hana s dismissal of her writing but she can t find the right inspiration.

One night, a fight between Hana and her husband sparks something in Mira: the words ring in her head and she starts typing. But what can you borrow from your sister? And what can be forgiven?
