Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie

A storey of 2 entwined families beginning in British India at the end of the Empire and ending in modern day New York. One family is upper-class English/Ameriacan and the other is Japanese/Indian. The novel begins in India during the riots and moves on to Afgahnastan during the wards. The relationships tells of divided loyalties and betrayals.

The characters are likeable and well-developed. The story is well written and intreguing.

Definitely worth reading.
