4.0

A promising debut by a promising author, In the Company of Strangers by Awais Khan is an engaging novel about the intricacies of love, the complexities of married life, the intricateness of the web of terror all wrapped in this tense but quite sad story set in Pakistan. There are heaps of emotional movement here and trigger warnings. Mr. Khan is prolific and he knows well how to hone his sentences to make it readable and compelling. This novel should have garnered the full attention it deserves in the literary world.
