The National Book Award finalist, Oprah's Book Club pick, #1 New York Times bestseller, and basis for the Oscar-nominated motion picture.

A recent immigrant from the Middle East -- a former colonel in the Iranian Air Force -- yearns to restore his family's dignity in California. A recovering alcoholic and addict down on her luck struggles to hold onto the one thing she has left -- her home. And her lover, a married cop, is driven to extremes to win her love.

Andre Dubus III's unforgettable characters -- people with ordinary flaws, looking for a small piece of ground to stand on -- careen toward inevitable conflict. Their tragedy paints a shockingly true picture of the country we live in today.
