intimate study of the ties that bind us' - Stylist _______________
A dazzling new novel of friendship, identity and the unknowability
of other people - from the international bestselling author of Home
Fire, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction Sometimes it was as
though the forty years of friendship between them was just a lesson
in the unknowability of other people... Maryam and Zahra. In 1988
Karachi, two fourteen-year-old girls are a decade into their
friendship, sharing in-jokes, secrets and a love for George
Michael. As Pakistan's dictatorship falls and a woman comes to
power, the world suddenly seems full of possibilities. Elated by
the change in the air, they make a snap decision at a party. That
night, everything goes wrong, and the two girls are powerless to
change the outcome. Zahra and Maryam. In present-day London, two
influential women remain bound together by loyalties, disloyalties,
and the memory of that night, which echoes through the present in
unexpected ways. Now both have power; and both have very different
ideas of how to wield it... Their friendship has always felt
unbreakable; can it be undone by one decision? _______________ 'A
new Kamila Shamsie novel is always worth celebrating, but Best of
Friends is something else: an epic story that explores the ties of
childhood friendship, the possibility of escape, the way the
political world intrudes into the personal, all through the lens of
two sharply drawn protagonists' - Observer, Books of the Year 2022
