From Karachi's slums to England's promises, (through connected cities and intersecting destinies),Bhutto's new novelwill move you with its profound wisdom and sharp grasp of our turbulent times.BehindThe Runaways, there is clearly a brilliant mind and a generous heart at work.
This is a bold and probing novel, from a writer strikingly alert to something small and true
Every page of this is priceless.I can't think of a better guide through the world we live in.I've never used the word "transformative" before, but I just did now.
Apowerful and movingbook. It is a book thatanyone rushing to condemn young people for being radicalised should read.
As compassionate as it is trenchant,this rare fiction is an illuminating guide through the great disorder of our times.
Dazzling. . . a novel that holds up to scrutiny a world of claustrophobic war zones, virulent social media and cities collapsing upon themselves, and then sets it down again,transformed by the grace of storytelling
Bhutto's heady narrative flits through time and space with a sense of urgency, tracing three disparate young lives, each drawn into the realms of radicalisation, amid the dust of the Iraqi desert
The themes of radicalism (of all sorts) is a thread that runs through the lives of the characters representing the complexity of ideology and the perpetual human search for meaning.Eloquent and erudite...a treat to read
The Runawaysis a book we should all read for it holds up a clear mirror to the way societies in many parts of the world are shaping, moulding, distorting and deforming the young.Itis a book we all need.
Abig-hearted, beautiful novel.I read it with awe. Fatima Bhutto has an unflinching eye and a unique voice.
A shocking, moving and deeply compassionate novel
Highly topical . . .The Runawaysoffers an unflinching look at the key subjects of our time and the riveting story of three memorable characters
An incisive and empathetic study of adolescent alienation and the social conditions that drive radicalisation
An unflinching look at generational ambition and betrayal
A timely read that does a brilliant job of depicting the human cost when violence shifts from abstraction to reality
Provocative and resolutely compassionate
