In a moment of recklessness and courage, they travel to London to join a demonstration in front of the Libyan embassy. When government officials open fire on protestors in broad daylight, both friends are wounded, and their lives forever changed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOver the years that follow, Khaled, Mustafa and their friend Hosam, a writer, are bound together by their shared history. If friendship is a space to inhabit, theirs becomes small and inhospitable when a revolution in Libya forces them to choose between the lives they have created in London and the lives they left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'The first Booker contender of 2024 . . . a deeply touching, beautifully composed book' Sunday Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'It is impossible to describe the profound depth and beauty of this book' MAAZA MENGISTE, author of THE SHADOW KING\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'My Friends is both a complex and unsentimental meditation on what friendship means and a searingly moving exploration of how exile impacts those who are forced to live in this state of loss.
