Lauded as a BBC 2 Between the Covers Book Club selection and a Booker Prize gem, this New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller has captivated readers worldwide. Shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker Prize and crowned the Aspen Words Literary Prize winner, Mohsin Hamid's "Exit West" has garnered high praise from literary luminaries.
In this extraordinary tale of love and hope, mysterious doors begin materialising across the globe, offering passage to distant lands and alternate lives. Amidst a war-torn city, we encounter Nadia and Saeed, two young lovers barely acquainted yet bound by their desperate bid for survival. They dare to step through one such door, only to discover there's no turning back.
Hamid, the acclaimed author of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist", weaves a narrative that has been hailed as "astonishing" by Zadie Smith, "stunning" by the Spectator, and "extraordinary" by the TLS. This "masterpiece", as Michael Chabon puts it, is set to grace screens as a major Netflix production, with Michelle and Barack Obama at the helm and Riz Ahmed in a starring role.
Described by The New York Times as "one of the year's most significant literary works" and praised by the Mail on Sunday as "addictively readable and brilliantly written", "Exit West" promises a fantastic journey through love, hope, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
