  1. Årets bästa bok så här långt!
    Helena , 29 juni 2018

    Boken ligger helt rätt i tiden och har nyligen vunnit Bailey's Prize. Tre syskon födda och uppvuxna i England men med Pakistansk bakgrund. Brodern radikaliseras och åker till Syrien för att slåss med IS. Systrarna hemma i England slits mellan kärleken till sin bror och den hållning dom är tvungna att ha i västvärlden. Att ta avstånd från allt IS står för samtidigt som dom bara vill ha hem brodern. Allt får ett mycket dramatiskt slut.
