BY THE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION<br><br>'A magnificent novel: beautiful, terrible, true ... It reads already like a classic' - Ali Smith<br><br>Shortlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction<br><br>Grief never leaves, it merely sinks into you.<br><br>Summer, 1914. Young Englishwoman Vivian Rose Spencer is in an ancient land, about to discover the Temple of Zeus, the call of adventure, and love. Thousands of miles away a twenty-year-old Pathan, Qayyum Gul, is learning about brotherhood and loyalty in the British Indian army.<br><br>Summer, 1915. Viv has been separated from the man she loves; Qayyum has lost an eye at Ypres. They meet on a train to Peshawar, unaware that a connection is about to be forged between their lives - one that will reveal itself fifteen years later when anti-colonial resistance, an ancient artefact and a mysterious woman will bring them together again.<br><br>A jewel-like story of the destruction of war and the serendipitous nature of fate, A God in Every Stone traverses the globe into the heart of empires fallen and conquered, demonstrating our place in the chaos of history.
