Shark Heart tells the poignant tale of Lewis and Wren, whose first year of marriage is also destined to be their last. Just weeks after their wedding, Lewis is diagnosed with a rare condition: while he will retain his consciousness, memories, and intellect, his body will gradually transform into a great white shark.

As Lewis begins to exhibit the features and impulses of one of the ocean's most predatory creatures, his complex artist’s heart grapples with unfulfilled dreams. Can he find peace within this new reality?

Initially, Wren struggles internally with her husband’s fate. Is there a future for them after Lewis's transformation? Her journey is further complicated by the surfacing of long-repressed memories, which take her back to her childhood on a houseboat in Oklahoma, her college years with an ex-girlfriend, and her unique friendship with a woman expecting twin birds.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Exit West, comes a story of love, loss, and rediscovery in a time of unsettling change.

One morning, a man wakes up to find himself transformed. Overnight, Anders’s skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. At first, he shares his secret only with Oona, an old friend turned new lover. Soon, reports of similar events begin to surface. Across the land, people are awakening in new incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them.

Some see the transformations as the long-dreaded overturning of the established order that must be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders’s father and Oona’s mother, a sense of profound loss and unease wars with profound love. As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different hue—an opportunity for a kind of rebirth, a chance to see ourselves anew.

In Mohsin Hamid’s lyrical and urgent prose, The Last White Man powerfully uplifts our capacity for empathy and the transcendence over bigotry, fear, and anger it can achieve.
