by Mohsin Hamid
$8.90
Exit West
Exit West

Love and migration through magical realism.

If you're drawn to stories that blend the real with the fantastic, "Exit West" by Mohsin Hamid could be a mesmerizing read for you. It's a poignant tale that uses magical doors as a metaphor for the refugee experience, connecting the gritty reality of migration with a touch of fantasy. Hamid's lyrical prose and the novel's universal themes of love, loss, and the search for belonging make it an emotionally compelling journey.

Description

In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through. Exit West follows these characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.
