Exit West

Author: Mohsin Hamid

Exit West is the fourth novel from the Pakistani-born author and is at once a love story, a fable, and a chilling reflection on what it means to be displaced, unable to return home and unwelcome anywhere else. Hamid encourages to us to put ourselves in the shoes of others, even when they’ve lived lives much harder than anything we’ve endured. We have nothing in common except the most essential things, the things that make us human — as Hamid writes, “We are all migrants through time.” -PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE
