pikusonali 's review for:
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
by Mohsin Hamid
I'm a huge fan of Hamid's writing and despite this book being in my TBR list, I picked up Exit West first last year.
TRF is the story of Changez, a young Pakistani, who is the first of his family to go abroad to study. The intelligent young man makes New York his home, and even lands the perfect job in a reputed firm as a financial analyst. At 22, he has everything, even a pretty American girlfriend but then 9/11 happens, and it changes everything. If you are an immigrant living in a different country, you'll understand Changez's turmoil and desperation. His need to get back to his own country, to his own people. Makes for a compelling read.
