TITLE: EXIT WEST

AUTHOR: MOHSIN HAMID

GENRE: FICTION, NOVEL

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS:

This is Nadia. She is fiercely independent with an excellent sense of humour and a love of smoking alone on her balcony late at night.

This is Saeed. He is sweet and shy and kind to strangers. He also has a balcony but he uses his for stargazing.

This is their story: a love story, but also a story about how we live now and how we might live tomorrow. Saeed and Nadia are falling in love, and their city is falling apart. Here is a world in crisis and two human beings travelling through it.

Exit West is a heartfelt and radical act of hope-a novel to restore your faith in humanity and in the power of imagination.

MY REVIEW:

“Exit West” is a love story of Nadia and Saeed, who forced to migrate from their homeland. More than a love story it deals with the refugee crisis, their mental conflicts, and western country’s attitude towards immigrants.
The unique qualities of the book are the writing style and way of storytelling. On each chapter, the author has given breaks from the main story which will take the reader to another world independent of the central plot. But have the same content.
The subtle use of magical realism is splendid. That is portraying people migrate from hostile places to more secure countries through magical “doors.”
From the novel, everyone could understand how relationships change in an unfortunate circumstance.
We have been seeing various news regarding refugees and their miserable life nowadays. Its frequency is increasing because of the militant reigns in some part of the world. So, the book is worth reading.
I would recommend this book to everyone.
