About Exit West
Exit West follows Saeed and Nadia, a young couple whose home country is progressively engulfed by civil war. The appearance of mysterious doors which transport people to locations across the globe enables them to escape; in doing so, the bond between them and their ties to their home country are irrevocably transformed. The novel met with both popular and critical acclaim on its release: it was shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker Prize and was named one of the New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2017.
