House of Sand and Fog
by Andre Dubus III
Announced November 16, 2000
About the Book
In this riveting novel of almost unbearable suspense, three
fragile yet determined people become dangerously entangled in
a relentlessly escalating crisis.
Colonel Behrani, once a wealthy man in Iran, is now a
struggling immigrant willing to bet everything he has to
restore his family's dignity.
Kathy Niccolo, a recovering alcoholic and addict whose house
is all she has left, refuses to let her hard-won stability slip
away from her.
Sheriff Lester Burdon, a married man who finds himself falling
in love with Kathy, becomes obsessed with helping her fight for justice.
Drawn by their competing desires to the same small house in the
California hills--and what it represents to each of them--and doomed
by their tragic inability to understand one another, the three converge
on an explosive collision course. Combining unadorned realism with profound
empathy, House of Sand and Fog is a devastating exploration of the
American Dream gone awry.
