Kamila Shamsie - Home Fire

After raising her orphaned twin siblings, Isma is free; but she can’t stop worrying about her beautiful sister back in London, or their brother, Parvaiz, who’s disappeared.  When he resurfaces half a globe away, Isma’s worst fears are confirmed.  Then Eamonn  - charming, naive, cavalier - enters the sisters’ lives, and suddenly all their fates are devastatingly entwined.  This event is co-sponsored by the Public Library of Brookline and will be held at the Coolidge Corner Public Library, 31 Pleasant St., Brookline.
