Then the true reason for your meeting becomes abundantly clear...

Challenging, mysterious and thrillingly tense, Mohsin Hamid's masterly 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' is a vital read teeming with questions and ideas about some of the most pressing issues of today's globalised, fractured world. Shortlisted for the Man Booker prize in 2007. (Verlagstext)
