A disturbing book about a young woman's world spun out of control when she loses her house and an Iranian immigrant struggling to find the American dream he feels entitled to. Both characters are simultaneously sympathetic and pathetic as they battle for the stability represented by a house in a small Californian town.

Quickly moving story, very intense and suspenseful. A true page-turning thriller. Made into a movie a few years back.

Book in very good condition. Fabulous, tragic story of a proud family and a strong willed woman entwined in a fight over a house. In the end, only tragedy wins.

This was a book club discussion book some time back which I really enjoyed because
there were many layers of meaning and differences in interpretations of the characters involved and their rights and responsibilities, as well as their moral integrity (or lack thereof). I thought if beautifully written as well.
