juliad55 's review for:

House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
4.75
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

so that was traumatizing. but also incredibly suspenseful, with interesting parallels between the narrators who are on the surface level so different, and lots of imagery of fog (in the air and in the mind). deeply flawed characters, lots of violence, and a tragic story. but worth the read!
