520			_aSoul mates from birth Karim and Raheen are irrevocably bound to one another and to Karachi. It beats in their hearts - violent, polluted, corrupt, vibrant, brave and ultimately, home. However, Raheen is fiercely loyal and naively blinkered and she resents Karim's need to map their city and to expand the privileged world they know. When Karim is forced to leave for London their differences of opinion become a painful quarrel. As the years go by they let a barrier of silence build between them until, finally, they are brought together during a dry summer of strikes and ethnic violence and their relationship is poised between strained friendship and fated love. Impassioned and touching Kartography is a love song to Karachi. In her extraordinary new novel, Kamila Shamsie shows us that whatever happens in the world we must never forget the complicated war in our own hearts.
