Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

<p>Enjoy our presentation of <i>Exit West</i>, written by Mohsin Hamid and published by Riverhead Books. In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet--sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair, thrust into premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors--doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As violence and the threat of violence escalate, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through. </p><p><i>Exit West</i> has received many accolades, including Entertainment Weekly’s 10 Best Novels of the Decade and the Aspen World Literary Prize. </p><p>Please be advised, <i>Exit West</i> contains violence and racism. </p><p>This title is available in both ebook and audiobook format through Libby.</p><p>Libby eBook - <a href="https://www.overdrive.com/media/2814358/exit-west">https://www.overdrive.com/media/2814358/exit-west</a><br />Libby Audio - <a href="https://www.overdrive.com/media/2812965/exit-west">https://www.overdrive.com/media/2812965/exit-west</a><br /><br /> Please visit <a href="https://calvert-library-book-bites.simplecast.com/episodes/www.calvertlibrary.info">www.calvertlibrary.info</a> for more information.</p><p>Music: Sad Clown (excerpt) by Orquesta Arrecife.
