In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair, and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through. . . .
Exit West follows these remarkable characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

作为移民，深有同感。离开成长的地方时候，就等于谋杀了留在成长地方的亲人。爱情故事真实而动人。
评分Magical realism v effective in propelling plot and eliminating the journey. Omniscient narration, vignettes of other doors&ppl, elevates story to global scale. Love 1st half: addictive love story, spare but ruthless depiction of violence, mysterious buildup to revelation of doors. 2nd half: Mykonos camp, London mansion, Marin hill. Ends on hope.
评分偏心分，闲时可读。叙事风格不习惯，但这属于个人偏好不提也罢。
评分尽管作者用一种冷静和克制的语调完成了叙事，假借爱情和科幻的结构探索当代问题，无论这种叙事的尝试改变了什么，这个故事是真的很无聊。可能也是作者自身族裔的问题，在处理难民/移民身份上有点过度浪漫主义化。选择了两个非暴力的主角，真的就深入难民问题的核心了么？或者本质上混淆了难民/移民的界限，（或者如今天上厕所墙上被人涂鸦的slogan一样，）legality（移民） ≠ morality（难民）。这个“门”作为一种突破，既不合法，也不道德。它并没有体现一种问题思考，而是在假想一种廉价的“和谐”。
