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.

One of the year s most significant literary works – The New York Times

Powerful, vivid, poignant… Hamid is the master-Sunday Times

A love story as spare, haunting and spiritually powerful as a haiku. All my life I will remember Nadia and Saeed, their humanity against a surreal, broken landscape. Exit West is Hamid s finest book – Kiran Desai

Astonishing -Zadie Smith

Immediately canonical – New Yorker
