crystalline prose, mixing the real and the surreal and using old
fairy-tale magic... An unnervingly dystopian portrait of what might
lie down the road' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times An
extraordinary story of love and hope from the bestselling, Man
Booker-shortlisted author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist Nadia and
Saeed are two ordinary young people, attempting to do an
extraordinary thing - to fall in love - in a world turned upside
down. Theirs will be a love story but also a story about how we
live now and how we might live tomorrow, of a world in crisis and
two human beings travelling through it. Civil war has come to the
city which Nadia and Saeed call home. Before long they will need to
leave their motherland behind - when the streets are no longer
useable and the unknown is safer than the known. They will join the
great outpouring of people fleeing a collapsing city, hoping
against hope, looking for their place in the world . . .
