a meaningful book on friendship. I adored it utterly. A brilliant masterwork on the loyalty, morals, and respects of a long friendship. Shamsie never makes concessions. This exceptional book serves as more proof of her talent for creating fiction that is both historically accurate and so good and authentic that it reads as though it has always existed. Rarely does a writer investigate the forces that link us to certain times in life with such insight and tenderness, and they rarely do it in language that is exact and exquisite, vast yet attentive to the smallest emotional nuance. With this stunning, extraordinarily moving work, Kamila Shamsie has accomplished something new. Best of Friends is an obsession. All in all a great novel that I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly reccomend to anyone who wants to read a great book about friendship
