LOCATION

In “Exit West,” Mohsin Hamid explores themes related to migration, in particular, why people leave their homes and what arrival is like in an unfamiliar land. We've invited panelists from SomerViva, the Welcome Project, and the Somerville Board of Alderman, to share their personal insights.

Copies of the book are available for check out at all Somerville Public Library locations and via the Library’s online catalog. All Somerville residents are encouraged to read the book before the end of the Somerville Reads month-long initiative.
 
For more information about Somerville Reads programs and events or questions about how to access a copy of the book, please call the Somerville Public Library at 617-623-5000 ext. 2955.
