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, and are soon cloistered in a 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 the violence escalates, 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. . . .
Exit West follows these remarkable characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

An honest balance between migration and love, but this time, it provides a different perspective on relationship and the maintenance of chemistry. "Staying in touch took a toll on them... eventually a month went by without any contact,and then a year, and then a lifetime." As a reader, it's such a blessing to resonate with his words.

评分Magical realism v effective in propelling plot and eliminating the journey. Omniscient narration, vignettes of other doors&ppl, elevates story to global scale. Love 1st half: addictive love story, spare but ruthless depiction of violence, mysterious buildup to revelation of doors. 2nd half: Mykonos camp, London mansion, Marin hill. Ends on hope.
