Exit West by Moshin Hamid imagines the forces that drive people from their homes into new lands. In a country on the brink of civil war, Nadia and Saeed meet. They fall in love, and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling in their city. When it explodes, streets turn into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts. They hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away. Profoundly intimate and inventive, this love story reveals loyalty and courage that is of our time and for all time.
