My Friends by Fredrik Backman

A profound, beautiful novel about the power of friendship and the pain of exile."

When eighteen-year-old Khaled leaves Libya for a university in Edinburgh, he thinks he is simply starting a new chapter. He doesn't know he won't be able to return for decades. After a life-altering protest in London, Khaled finds himself trapped in a foreign land, tethered only by his friendship with two other Libyan exiles.

Spanning three decades, My Friends follows these men as they navigate revolution, longing, and the complex question of what it means to be "home."
