Farhad is a Franco-Iranian Muslim living in Paris. He and his friends feel like strangers in France, the country they grew up in, facing discrimination from prospective employers, and rejection for their Islamic faith, traditions and values. In a quest to track down a long-lost heirloom, Farhad explores his family history and heritage across the globe, as his search for the rare Alamut stone takes him between London and Iran. Nearer to home, Farhad’s closest friend Reza gets a job at an Islamic charity and begins to withdraw. Others fear that he is being radicalised, provoking profound questions about the nature of nationality and identity in the 21st Century. First published in France to critical acclaim, Exiles from Paradise is a thought-provoking novel about discrimination, heritage and belonging. Brigitte Adès’ captivating novel is a celebration of Islamic culture, community and connection, as well as a powerful warning against the tragic consequences of racism and prejudice.
