Hiroko Tanaka steps out onto her veranda, taking in the view of the terraced slopes leading up to the sky. She is twenty-one and on the verge of marrying Konrad Weiss. In a split second, the world turns whiteIn the numbing aftermath of a bomb that obliterates everything she has known, all that remains are the bird-shaped burns on her back, an indelible reminder of the world she has lost. In search of new beginnings, Hiroko travels to Delhi to find Konrad's relatives and falls in love with their employee, Sajjad Ashraf. As the years unravel, new homes replace those left behind and old wars are seamlessly usurped by new conflicts. But the shadows of history personal, political are cast over the entwined worlds of different families as they are transported from Pakistan to New York, and in the novel's astonishing climax, to Afghanistan in the immediate wake of 9/11.

He loves cricket, pomegranates, the night sky, his clever, vibrant artistic mother and his etymologically obsessed lawyer father, and he adores his next-door neighbour Zehra. One early summer morning, while lazing happily on the roof, Hasan watches a young boy flying a yellow kite fall to his death. Soon after, Hasan's idyllic, sheltered family life is shattered when his beloved uncle Salman, a dissenting politician, is arrested and charged with treason... Set in a land ruled by an oppressive military regime, this eloquent, charming and quietly political novel vividly recreates the confusing world of a young boy on the edge of adulthood, and beautifully illustrates the transformative power of the imagination.

  • Bloomsbury Fall 2019
    BLOOMSBURY FALL 2019 SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER 19F Macm Bloomsbury Shadow Network Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right by Anne Nelson The chilling story of the Council for National Policy, the covert group that masterminded the archconservative assault on America's airwaves, its schools, and, ultimately, its democracy The Republican Party's coalition of corporate interests and repressive social conservatism may appear a haphazard marriage of convenience. But in this startling account, award-winning journalist Anne Nelson reveals how the right wing engineered this union to rig the system in favor of fundamentalists and oligarchs hostile to civil liberties and the welfare state, and defend against challenges to their power from below. In 1981, fifty individuals - Republican operatives, evangelical Christians, oil barons, gun lobbyists - founded the Council for National Policy to coordinate strategy. Its participants would channel money and media, and mobilize votes behind the scenes. Membership would be secret. The group wielded a broadcasting empire to flood underserved heartland media markets with its propaganda; funded handpicked colleges to launch radically libertarian ideas; Bloomsbury and groomed up-and-coming politicians to promote its cause. As the power of On Sale: Oct 29/19 voter data to swing elections became clear, the movement joined the Koch 6.12 x 9.25 • 272 pages brothers to outmaneuver the Democratic Party in an information arms race - 9781635573190 • $37.00 • CL - With dust jacket one the Democrats may yet be able to win.
