My Friends – A Profound Novel of Exile, Memory, and Belonging by Hisham Matar
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Return, comes a haunting, elegant story about friendship, displacement, and identity.
In My Friends, acclaimed author Hisham Matar tells the deeply moving story of Khaled, a young Libyan student living in exile in London during the Gaddafi regime. After a violent protest and arrest, Khaled finds himself drawn into the lives of two fellow exiles, Mustafa and Hosam, whose lives and struggles mirror his own in unexpected ways.
