Pilgrims Way book by Abdulrazak Gurnah

Pilgrims Way is a novel set in England that follows Daud, a young Tanzanian man living as an immigrant far from home. He works as a hospital cleaner while studying medicine, trying to build a stable future in a country that often makes him feel invisible and out of place.

As Daud navigates life in Britain, he also struggles with loneliness, racism, and the emotional distance between his present life and his memories of East Africa. His internal world is shaped by longing, displacement, and the quiet pressures of survival in a foreign society.

Abdulrazak Gurnah explores migration not just as physical movement, but as a psychological condition—where identity is constantly negotiated between memory, ambition, and belonging. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
