Kamila Shamsie

From Shelf: The 2015 Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlist

BY THE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION _______________ 'I can't recommend A God in Every Stone by Kamila Shamsie too strongly ... Exciting and, in the end, profoundly moving, this will solace you during the grimmest holiday' - Antonia Fraser, Guardian Summer Reading 'A magnificent novel: beautiful, terrible, true ... It reads already like a classic' - Ali Smith 'A moving story of love and betrayal, generosity and brutality, hope and injustice, full of characters that stay with you' - Financial Times _______________ Shortlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction Summer, 1914. Young Englishwoman Vivian Rose Spencer is in an ancient land, about to discover the Temple of Zeus, the call of adventure, and love. Thousands of miles away a twenty-year-old Pathan, Qayyum Gul, is learning about brotherhood and loyalty in the British Indian army. Summer, 1915. Viv has been separated from the man she loves; Qayyum has lost an eye at Ypres.
