By Mohsin Hamid...I was turned on to this book listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the World Book Club by BBC. I have been trying to read more international authors...and this is definitely one of my favorites. Written as a narrative, it takes place from about 4pm to evening and we meet Changez from Pakistan...educated at Princeton, lived in America, returned and telling a stranger (an America) his life. It has the run of emotions as the reader wonders what is going on or what will happen next. Love, loss, triumph and failure are all in Changez's story. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, didn't want to put it down. This is a short read, but powerful.
