House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III

3.0

---

I liked it very much, though I had some difficulty getting into the story in the beginning. Still, I kept reading and didn't regret it. We're introduced to a family that buys a house belonging to Kathy Nicolo, which is taken from her through a tax mistake and from then on things become increasingly complicated, leading into the second part of the story, which sets a different tone to it, sending us down a path of destruction and fear and fatal mistakes. Its tragic ending touched me deeply.
