Such an interesting book, I loved to see all the different perspectives on the topic of migration. Definitely strong characters, and a good, well constructed plot.

Stunningly intimate writing that describes a society that feels foreign and yet darkly prescient, I have that empty-yet-full feeling I often get when I finish a book like this. Often, I am annoyed with literary fiction authors who try to comment on too much within a book, but Hamid manages to discuss war, refugees, capitalism, religion, family dynamics, the collapse of society, climate change and probably more that went straight over my head, all within the core story of a relationship that will remain with me for awhile.

This book explores the meaning of home and of human connection in a beautiful way. I read this for school but I really enjoyed it. The writing was gorgeous and had incredibly detailed descriptions that I loved.
