“Masterful… A poignant love story and a thriller that gradually builds tension towards an explosive conclusion” - Metro.
“Excuse me, sir, but can I help you? Ah, I see I have startled you. Do not be alarmed by my beard. I am a lover of America…” So speaks the mysterious stranger in a Lahore café as the evening sets in. Invited to join him for tea, you learn his name and what has led him to seek you out. For he is more cosmopolitan than you might expect, better traveled and educated. He knows the West better than you do. And as he narrates his story, of how he embraced the Western dream - and a Western woman - and how both betrayed him, the night grows darker. Then the true reason for your meeting becomes clear…
Doubt, mystery, and gripping tension characterize Mohsin Hamid’s masterpiece, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which is an essential read, filled with questions and ideas about some of the most pressing issues of today's globalized, fragmented world.
