Reviews
First-rate - intelligent, vivid and completely absorbing * Daily Mail *
I can't recommend A God in Every Stone by Kamila Shamsie too strongly - this is her best novel yet ... 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 page-turner that is also a literary page-turner -- Jeanette Winterson * Guardian Summer Reading *
A moving story of love and betrayal, generosity and brutality, hope and injustice, full of characters that stay with you * Financial Times *
