kateshark 's review for:

House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
4.0

DOWN WITH OPRAH. I am pissed that a paperback version of this that doesn't have Oprah's Book Club draped all over it isn't available here. ARG.

Anyway, this is an excellent and surprisingly engaging story—not so much about real estate, but about the characters for whom the titular house means home, opportunity, love, loss, possibility... Much more engrossing than the recent film adaptation. A great book.
