Exit West

Bill's selection of Exit West is a timely personalizing of the current immigration crisis. We all tend to forget that refugees from Syria and other war torn countries are very much like you and me. They are, more often than not, bright, skilled, and hard working young people that are able to contribute mightily if given the chance. Mostly they are good people that are subjected to tremendous hardship through no fault of their own. The author puts a face on these individuals and their secret doorways of escape.
