In the Company of Strangers by Awais Khan

4.0

I’m so unsure of what to say about this book as it’s just so different to what I usually read. There was a very long build up & quite a short ending, but the whole thing was incredibly captivating & it’s a book that’s left me numb. In the Company of Strangers covers a lot of issues; love, class, terrorism, religion, family, domestic abuse & probably a few others that I can’t name right now, so it’s hard to pinpoint what it was really about. What I can say is that I was interested in this book from the first few chapters & my interest multiplied with each page turn - it was a book that enveloped me & one I read for hours at a time.

⚠️ This book contains fatphobic views, sexism, classism, death, bomb scenes/gun shootings & the medical aftermath, discussions of terrorism, scenes of domestic violence, homophobia & other related scenes that could cause upset and/or offence ⚠️

I was sent this book to review as part of a blog tour organised by Rachel’s Random Resources.
