The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Moshin Hamid

Book for Britsnîmes' book club at the end of the month.
A novel which rings like a true story. Changez is one of many immigrants in New York. He's from Pakistan and he's a brilliant student in finances at Princeton. And soon after seems on the way to embrace the American Dream. But with the States intervention in Afghanistan and then 9/11 Changez sees everything in a different light...
I actually read it already a couple of years ago. And once again I was griped by the story and the main character insight.
Quite an interesting book to discuss upon !
