Home Fire

Aneeka and Parvaiz are twins. Parvaiz decides to join ISIS. Aneeka embarks on an affair with the Home Secretary’s son in order to gain his influence in helping her brother return to Britain. Some reference to Antigone in the notes. I liked the writing in the beginning and appreciated the imagined wooing and recruitment of a lonely boy to the murderous arms of ISIS but the end of the book came fast and choppy with sudden changes in format (texting, newspaper articles, poetic interludes) that seemed out of place. And Aneeka made me crazy. I think I just saw this title recommended in a bookstore.
