9 August, 1945, Nagasaki: Hiroko Tanaka, twenty-one and in love
with Konrad Weiss, the man she is about to marry, steps out onto
her veranda, minutes before a nuclear explosion shatters her world
and everything in it.
Travelling to Delhi two years later in search of new beginnings,
she meets Konrad's half-sister, Elizabeth, her husband James
Burton, and their employee Sajjad Ashraf. As the years unravel, the
shadows of history - personal and political - are cast over the
entwined worlds these people inhabit as they are transported from
Pakistan to New York, and in the novel's astonishing climax, to
Afghanistan in the immediate wake of 9/11.
