A review by ktina619
Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
3.0
The way Moshin Hamid described the disintegration of the relationship between Nadia and Saeed really broke my heart and I think it is some of the strongest writing in this book.
A quote I bookmarked on page 52: “Perhaps he had been selfish, his notion of helping the youth and the country through teaching and research merely an expression of vanity, and the far more decent path would have been to pursue wealth at all costs.”
Saeed’s father thinks this to himself after not being able to provide money for his son to travel abroad during this time of warfare. I found it to be an interesting perspective on the kinds of values we place on jobs and what the “right” path truly is.
