Part family drama, part satire, part picaresque, at its heart it is the story of a father and son, and the country they call home.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ranging from the heartland towns of America to palatial suites in Europe to guerrilla lookouts in the mountains of Afghanistan, Akhtar forges a narrative voice that is original as it is exuberantly entertaining. This is a world in which debt has ruined countless lives and the gods of finance rule, where immigrants live in fear and the unhealed wounds of 9\/11 continue to wreak havoc. HOMELAND ELEGIES is a novel written in love and anger, which spares no one, least of all the author himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Headline Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781472276896\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Headline Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47916017778865,"sku":"SB-1472276892-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1472276892_89d2fd61-9f4c-4712-abb1-ef3b70a5465f.jpg?v=1790306641","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/homeland-elegies-a-barack-obama-favourite-book","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
