A review by jenmadsen
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III

4.0

This was a very different book than just about any other. The plot was so simple and simultaneously twisted - very dramatic and detailed unfolding of this tragic story. I am amazed at the author's skill in presenting the story without judgment or bias, but truly equal voices on all sides. Remarkable.

I was particularly moved by his vivid descriptions of the Behrani family characters. I feel like I know them completely.

I wish there was a lot less language in here. It bothered me, but didn't stand in the way of the story. Just would have preferred much less of it. Might have been 5 stars without that and the unnecessary graphic sexual descriptions along the way.
