My Friends is an acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hisham Matar that tells the story of Khaled Abd al Hadi, a Libyan exile living in London whose life has been profoundly shaped by political violence and displacement. Spanning several decades, the novel explores the enduring friendships that sustain him as he reflects on exile, family, memory, identity, love, and the meaning of home. With luminous prose and emotional subtlety, Matar examines the lasting effects of authoritarian rule, the complexities of belonging, and the resilience of the human spirit. Deeply compassionate and beautifully written, My Friends is a moving meditation on friendship, freedom, and the ties that connect people across time and distance.
