I loved this book. On the one hand, it's a story about love and friendships and growing up. On the other, it takes on much bigger themes - betrayal, forgiveness, morals. I don't know why I have never read Kamila Shamsie before, but I definitely want to read more of her work after reading this.
Mixed but mostly positive feelings about this one. The drama of two (and more) several entangled families unwinds slowly, with a masterful build-up and a perfect stirring of curiosity. The story manages to be a very good page-turner, on that account.Things I liked not so much: the way some of the characters seem to make an unrealistically big deal out of things or to end things (at least temporarily) with big dramatic gestures and lines.

SPOILERS Ahead. Consider yourself warned!! Kartography is a book set in my dear hometown, Karachi. I guess that is reason enough to love it; but that is not the only reason.

This in itself covers a lot of issues such as ethnic, religious and socio-economic prejudices, changing history, redemption, forgiveness, whether one big consequential action defines a person, as well as the conc...
I Love this book with all its faults. I accept this book with all its good and the bad things. Just like I accept my Family with all its faults.While reminiscing my childhood days spent with my cousins at my grandparents home, it dawns upon me that how innocent we were to never understand the family politics, and how our minds were too preoccupied with broken knees and teasing each other that we never thought that we all will one day drift apart. How we didn't know about the family secrets, the
I am done, done and done with this novel and can't just stop being thankful to the friend who suggested it to me. I am so in love with this tale of human errors, decisions and forgiveness and above all my fav fav topic :friendships and bonds. Reading this book for much like diving headlong into this new world with 3D glasses whereby everything is different and new and so much more alive than you can ever have thoughts. The strong bond of friendship between these two groups of friends and a huge
