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.
