How The Light Gets In
How The Light Gets In by M. J. Hyland; Maria Joan Hyland is available at Global Books.
This is the UK debut of Elif Shafak's first novel, written in English. The story revolves around three international studentsâOmer, Pree, and Abedâsharing a house in Boston. Each character grapples with their own "incipient insanity," ranging from extreme cynicism and clinical depression to the crushing weight of cultural expectations and the search for identity in a foreign land.
Through sharp, witty prose, Shafak explores the themes of displacement and the "clash of civilisations" at a personal level. The novel serves as a vibrant, intellectual, and often humorous look at the immigrant experience and the fragile friendships that form when people are untethered from their home countries.
