The house of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III


This is one of those books where all the characters are portrayed so beautifully that you can relate to them. I am impressed that the author, Andre Dubus could actually portray an Iranian family with such depth and genuineness. One of the best stories that puts the reader in a dilemma  on who to side with. Either the American couple who have a real cause to work on but chose the wrong method to work it out. Or the Iranian immigrant and his family who were stripped from their aristocratic background by the Iranian revolution and want to survive in their new immigrant status.
