Aminatta Forna recommends
Tales of the Metric System (2016) Imraan Coovadia "A journey though the familiar to somewhere completely new." | Home Fire (2017) Kamila Shamsie "Shamsie's simple, lucid prose plays in perfect harmony with the heartbeat of modern times. Home Fire deftly reveals all the ways in which the political is as personal as the personal is political. No novel could be as timely." |
