About this product

Product Information

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2007 At a cafe table in Lahore, a Pakistani man converses with a stranger. As dusk deepens to dark, he begins the tale that has brought him to this fateful meeting... Among the brightest and best of his graduating class at Princeton, Changez is snapped up by an elite firm and thrives on New York and the intensity of his work. And his infatuation with fragile Erica promises entree into Manhattan society on the exalted footing his own family once held back in Lahore. For a time, it seems as though nothing will stand in the way of Changez's meteoric rise to personal and professional success- the fulfilment of the immigrant's dream. But in the wake of September 11, he finds his position in the city he loves suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez's own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and perhaps even love.

  • Some interesting themes but disappointing overall.

    Some really interesting themes that does make the reader think. However, it was frustrating that the entire book was the voice of the main character talking at an American who we never hear a response from. I get the idea could be clever, but I just found it annoying as I never really got into the content as it kept coming back to them in the cafe all the time.
