Bloomsbury presents Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie, read by Tania Rodrigues._______________'A formidable arching tale about loss and foreignness' - Financial Times'Powerful, epic yet skilfully controlled … Shamsie's voice is clear and compelling, with a welcome sparseness' - Guardian'Completely authentic, complex, and breath-stopping' - Emma Thompson_______________SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORANGE PRIZEBY THE ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTIONHere was one who would squeeze the sun in her fist if she ever got the chance; yes, and tilt her head back to swallow its liquid light.August 9th, 1945, Nagasaki. Twenty-one year old Hiroko Tanaka steps out onto her veranda, wearing an embroidered kimono ahead of her marriage to Konrad Weiss. In a second of destruction and senseless violence, everything Hiroko has known and loved is decimated. The scars, both literal and metaphorical, will stay with her forever.Attempting to escape this devastation, Hiroko travels to Delhi, encountering the bloodshed of an India undergoing Partition. As the years unravel, surnames change, new places become home and old wars are seamlessly usurped by new conflicts.A novel of tremendous scope, across land and time, Burnt Shadows perceptively demonstrates the far and unyielding reach of the tentacles of war and displacement, and the irrevocable wounds of the past._______________'Shamsie achieves the near impossibility of a truly intimate epic tale … I challenge anyone to put this book down lightly' - Shami Chakrabarti, Observer, Books of the Year'A giant of novel … Beautifully realised' - Independent
