Homefire -A book review

Hey you guys, so the Monday post is here early. Since its a  spoiler free review so feel free to read without any major spoilers springing out of nowhere, Happy reading!

It was my first time reading  Kamila Shamsie's works, despite hearing about her being a very well reputed name . She is a Karachi born author, got her education in London & some of that shows in her work. Whenever we read a story, a novel, poetry or prose, it most of the times gives us a chance to glimpse into the story teller's personality. I don't agree with the ideologies and viewpoints in some of her writings, but maybe that's what she can relate to or experienced in her growing up throughout her life in UK & Pakistan.
 So, starting with the review:
The cover title shows two people in a near embrace,which is kind of non descript as the whole theme of the book goes, or maybe its just oversimplified in my opinion.
The book has parts comprising of a theme of Antigone- that contrasts two types of law and justice:divine or religious law on one hand, and the law of men and states on the other
The story revolves around 3 siblings, Isma, who is finally free to pursue her own dreams, after years that she reserved for the upbringing of her younger twin siblings after passing away of her mother. It contains elements of love, friendship bonds amongst the siblings in general & the twins in particular, how they had to live after their father, who was a jihadi, was arrested by the police, when the kids were quite young to even remember, how all of those circumstances were influencing their lives till the very end, a friend of the sisters who happened to be the son of an important political person, and how the story unravels after he became younger sister Aneeka's friend after meeting her, and was previously more of an acquaintance of the older sister, Isma.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD SO PUT THE BRAKES RIGHT HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK & PLAN TO DO SO!!

Aneeka's character in the book potrayed as a headstrong, confident girl , but her approach to decisions that she has to make throughout the story are often selfish.What disturbed me most was the fact that it discussed her hijab as a prominent feature, one which she had great pride in and didn't wanted to compromise on, but she was okay with having an illicit affair and a physical relationship with Eamonn,despite her knowing the Islamic stance over the matter.
The end was very unclear & bland somehow, leaving some questions behind unanswered, like who removed Eamonn's tweet?

I'm sure there are people who love her plots, writing style, character building, but needless to say, this author is probably not going to be on my future reading list. Saying that,I'm about to finish Salt & Saffron ( guess the writer?) by Kamila Shamsie & lets see if I will have deets for you regarding that.
