A review by melodys_library
Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

4.0

This book is far more complex than the synopsis implies. Yes, the novel follows two protagonists that become infatuated with one another before war tears their unnamed country apart and forces them to flee…but it’s so much more than that. This is a compelling exploration of immigration and the refugee crisis. It follows the two protagonists through their migrations and has a creative take on migrating instantaneously from country to country through literal open doors. I’ll be reading more from Hamid.
