The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Mohsin Hamid (2007)Changez is a young man living in Lahore. This book spans just one day and takes the form of a one-sided conversation between Changez and an American customer who he meets at a cafe in Lahore.
Changez explains how he went to university at Princeton and scored a big job with a rich company in New York, working on giving valuations to other companies. He talks about his life and his love with a disturbed rich girl. Enjoying the experience of living in the US, he still reminds us of his Pakistani backround. Then comes 9/11, and things begin to change, he looks at the world differently and begins to react.
A great thriller, short but precise in its movements it kept me up late reading. 3/5
