	Visage Magazine > Book Review: Kartography by Kamila Shamsie, review by Afiya Sheherbano :: Issue 47, Vol 11
		Kamila Shamsie’s third novel within five years, Kartography, is a personal achievement for a young writer.
		Shamsie then uses her strength of vocabulary and symbolism, which soak the novel as a device only too familiar with South Asian English language writers.
		But in the end Shamsie remains locked in the very ‘burger class’ she mocks in her novel which does not venture beyond the cultural boundaries of Defence Society – not even in a voyeuristic way that we found in say, a novel like Mohsin Hamid’s, ‘ MothSmoke’.

		Kamila Shamsie's third novel, Kartography, is a hard-edged exploration of love and politics in Pakistan after the 1971 civil war
		Kamila Shamsie's deftly woven, provocative third novel is about marking territory, both of land and body.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Review: Kartography by Kamila Shamsie
		Shamsie's third novel is a strangely mixed affair: lively, engaging and sometimes funny, yet also at times gawky, unwieldy and occasionally even inept.
		Considering Shamsie is not yet 30, this boundless narrative energy and confidence is impressive - this novel clearly believes itself to be funny and wise and true.
		Shamsie's talent still shines through, but for me she belongs to a clutch of young novelists just crying out to be edited - to be persuaded to let go of a few of their tricks, to simply set the story on the page and then sit back and let their readers decide what to think.

	Broken Verses by Kamila Shamsie, 0747577242, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Shamsie's 4th novel, published by Bloomsbury in 2005, is a splendid one, a beautiful read, and a continuation and development of Shamsie's distinctive and charming writing voice.
		Shamsie is a Pakistani author, who consistently presents Pakistani society as a highly complex, attractive, mind-boggling, sophisticated society, cramed with distinctive and memorable characters.
		The engaging and intelligent protagonist of Broken Verses, Aasmaani, is not unlike the protagonist of Kartography (Shamsie's 3rd novel), Raheen, in her wit, emotional independence, fierce loyalties, wry humour, privileged social status.

		Shamsie uses the "not quite twins" theme to link the characters of the past to those of today.
		Although I enjoyed Shamsie's style of writing; she has a good ear for the modern-day Urdu-English vernacular and the pages devoted to details of food are mouth-watering; I found the whole story static and a little fairy-tale like.
		Shamsie's food, though, deserves a special mention: from succulent kebabs to delicately spiced lamb and the aromatic biryanis - such gastronomic attention to details brought a tear to my eye and a rumble in my stomach.

		Shamsie has created characters that linger in the imagination long after the events of “Kartography” subside.
		Such a life; such a story; such a technique would fast become unbearable were it not for the presence of their friends, with their own unique problems, to provide subplots — er, distractions.

	A Review of Salt and Saffron by Kamila Shamsie
		Read Pakistani writer Kamila Shamsie’s second novel, Salt and Saffron, and you will encounter “mangoes, gol guppas, nihari and naans” more delicious than you have ever tasted.
		But lest you think only a highbrow would enjoy Salt and Saffron, you should also know that Shamsie reveals her appetite for Hollywood “flicks” (subtly underscoring a tale of cross-class relationships) and even gently teases readers raised on the narrative ploys of tinseltown.
		In one story of ancestral jealousy and revenge, a royal Fariduddin suspects his wife and brother of sleeping together and threatens to kill them and the newborn son who resembles his brother.
