The Reluctant Fundamentalist

by Mohsin Hamid

Long-listed for the booker prize this year this is a short gripping novel and highly recommended.

It is written in the first person and is one side of an unusual conversation. It builds suspense gradually and has a gentle humour as well as being very touching. It also makes you think about some of the larger issues in the world and hopefully offers a slightly different perspective. 9/10
