House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
4.0

This book suffers from the typical late 20th century prestige literature tropes. The first half of the book was a little bit of plot with lots of fragments trying to explain the characters but really just seemed liked filler the author had written earlier and didn't want to throw away. The last half is where it gets interesting but after building it up he makes one of the main characters do things he would most likely never do in order to get the ending he wanted.
