Book Review:
A God in Every Stone is a powerful and beautifully written historical novel from the acclaimed author Kamila Shamsie. Spanning from 1914 to 1930, the story moves between Turkey, London, and Peshawar. Vivian Spencer, a young British archaeologist, is working on an excavation in Turkey before World War I when she meets Nusrat, a Turkish archaeologist. Years later, Vivian arrives in Peshawar and meets Qayyum, a soldier who fought for the British Army during the war. Their lives become intertwined through history, identity, and the legacy of empire. Shamsie's prose is exquisite, and her exploration of the intersections of history, archaeology, and human connection is deeply moving. A must-read for fans of literary and historical fiction.
