_______________ 'A boisterous tribute to her home town that
crackles with the chaos of Pakistani political life' - The Times
'Deftly woven and provocative ... Shamsie's blistering humour and
ear for dialogue scorches through their whirl of whisky and
witticisms' - Observer 'You will notice very quickly that you're
reading a book by someone who can write ... Above all, Kartography
is a love story. And if you're not sniffling by, or in fact on,
page 113, you're reading the wrong book' - Guardian _______________
BY THE ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018
SHORTLISTED FOR THE JOHN LLEWELLYN RHYS PRIZE _______________ 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. _______________
'Perceptive, funny and poignant' - Times Literary Supplement 'A
touching love story, with the city of Karachi beating at its heart'
- Daily Mail 'A gorgeous novel of perimeters and boundaries, of the
regions - literal and figurative - in which we're comfortable
moving about and those through which we'd rather not travel' - Los
Angeles Times
