From Delhi, amid India's cry for independence from British colonial rule, to New York City in the immediate wake of 9\/11, to the novel's astonishing climax in Afghanistan, a violent history casts its shadow the entire world over. Sweeping in its scope and mesmerizing in its evocation of time and place, this is a tale of love and war, of three generations, and three world-changing historic events.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKAMILA SHAMSIE\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1973 in Karachi.
