Episode 1

Isma is going to miss her flight. Powerful, topical thriller and love story, winner of the 2018 Women's Prize for Fiction by Kamila Shamsie, read by Lisa Zahra.

Isma was going to miss her flight. She had expected the interrogation, had practised for it, but not the hours of waiting beforehand, or the humiliation.

This breathtakingly topical, powerful thriller by Kamila Shamsie won the 2018 Women's Prize for Fiction and was Book of the Year for all the major UK Newspapers. Home Fire is about identity, conflicting loyalties, love and politics: a book for our times.

Isma and Aneeka must keep a secret about their younger brother for their own protection and his.

Abridged by Sara Davies. The series is read by Lisa Zahra and Sanjeev Bhaskar.
Producer... Mary Ward-Lowery
