Immigrants autobiography

The best books about immigration and immigrants

1. Exit West: A Novel by Mohsin Hamid

I tell anyone who will listen that this is one of the best books I’ve read in my entire life.

Exit West is a lyrical, heart-breaking, deeply moving reflection on migration, love, and xenophobia. Nadia and Saeed are two very different people thrown together in a perilous time. They must navigate leaving a war-torn country and tending to their fledging love as they migrate to country after country in search of the elusive new and better life.

This book will leave you both wrecked and full to the brim.
