An extraordinary story of love and hope from the bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist

All over the world, doors are appearing.
They lead to other cities, other countries, other lives.

And in a city gripped by war, Nadia and Saeed are newly in love.
Hardly more than strangers, desperate to survive, they open a door and step through.

But the doors only go one way.
Once you leave, there is no going back.

*Coming soon as a major Netflix film - produced by Michelle and Barack Obama and starring Riz Ahmed*

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

An extraordinary story of love and hope from the bestselling, Man Booker-shortlisted author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist



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 star-gazing.



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.
