À propos de cet audio
Finalist for the Booker prize
The New York Times best-selling novel: an astonishingly visionary love story that imagines the forces that drive ordinary people from their homes into the uncertain embrace of new lands, from the author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and the forthcoming The Last White Man.
In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet - sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair, and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors - doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through...
Exit West follows these remarkable characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

A tale for our time
Loved the narration. A refreshing voice and much needed for this global story. A wonderful exploration of migration and coexistence.

A moving book, but the narration leaves something to be desired
This book was moving, fresh and unexpected. I loved the unexpected nod to magical realism. However I do feel the book would have been better served with a professional audiobook narrator or an actor. Author narration is almost always a bit disappointing. This really fantastic piece came from his mind, but his voice is monotone and stiff. I actually felt a little uncomfortable listening to some of the more sensitive and intimate scenes with his awkward narration.
