 | Kartografie. Amsterdam : Prometheus, 2003. 23 cm. 346 p. Een jongen en een meisje groeien samen op in de Pakistaanse hoofdstad Karachi als hij later naar Londen vertrekt, lijkt hun vriendschap voorbij. Vriendschap Pakistan . Garenloos. ISBN: 90-446-0285-3. Uitstekend. Karim en Raheen groeien samen op in Karachi. Hun onlosmakelijke vriendschap verandert in liefde wanneer Karim met zijn ouders vertrekt naar Londen. Karim probeerde al voor zijn vertrek de stad in kaart te brengen, later wordt dat zijn manier om vast te houden aan alles wat hij zich van zijn geboortestad herinnert. Raheen kan het niet verdragen dat Karim kritisch is over de toename van geweld en corruptie in de stad waar ze onvoorwaardelijk van houdt. Ze schrijven elkaar, maar wanneer Karim haar brieven verknipt terugstuurt, knapt er iets in Raheen. Een breuk van vele jaren wordt weer overbrugd wanneer beiden terugkeren naar Karachi en merken dat hun vriendschap en liefde voor elkaar nog even hecht is. De schrijfster is in staat om aan het liefdesverhaal iets toe te voegen waardoor het een mythische dimensie krijgt van twee mensen die voor elkaar zijn voorbestemd. Toch is de turbulentie tussen Raheen en Karim vooral bedoeld om veranderingen die het leven in Karachi ondergaat gedurende twintig jaar te symboliseren. Modern denken maakt plaats voor conservatieve stromingen. Direct, oprecht en overtuigend is de toon van dit boek dat zeer de moeite waard is. Shamsie (1973, Pakistan) debuteerde met de roman 'In the City by the Sea' (nog niet vertaald).

In The City By The Sea Bloomsbury Publishing Plc 2004 Paperback, 224pp. "Hasan is eleven years old. He loves cricket, pomegranates, the night sky, his clever, vibrant artistic mother and his etymologically obsessed lawyer father, and he adores his next-door neighbour Zehra. One early summer morning, while lazing happily on the roof, Hasan watches a young boy flying a yellow kite fall to his death. Soon after, Hasan's idyllic, sheltered family life is shattered when his beloved uncle Salman, a dissenting politician, is arrested and charged with treason. Set in a land ruled by an oppresive military regime, this eloquent, charming and quietly political novel vividly recreates the confusing world of a young boy on the edge of adulthood, and beautifully illustrates the transformative power of the imagination.

Kartography 2003. Paperback. Pp: 343. Raheen and her best friend, Karim, share an idyllic childhood in upper-class Karachi. Their parents were even once engaged to each others' partners until they rematched in what they call "the fiancée swap." But as adolescence distances the friends, Karim takes refuge in maps while Raheen searches for the secret behind her parents' exchange. What she uncovers reveals not just a family's but a country's turbulent history-and a grown-up Raheen and Karim are caught between strained friendship and fated love. A love story with a family mystery at its heart, Kartography is a dazzling novel by a young writer of astonishing maturity and exhilarating style. Shamsie transports us to a world we have not often seen in fiction-vibrant, dangerous, sensuous Pakistan. But even as she takes us far from the familiar, her story of passion and family secrets rings universally true. ISBN: 9780747561507. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
