“Hashimi's latest novel for adults, following A House without Windows (2016), is both thrilling and moving.”
—Booklist
“History is usually impersonal and flat. With Sparks Like Stars Hashimi has brought history off the page, personified in one person’s struggle to deal with the consequences of being caught up in its turmoil…Hashimi has created a riveting, heartbreaking, and eventually, affirming story. You will find yourself hanging onto every word and breathing in every sentence.”
—Seattle Post Intelligencer
“The novel is an elegiac tribute to family and civilization—fragile collective entities that should be cherished while they still hold.”
—Bookpage
