A review by wizard_of_uhhh
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
5.0
A devastating story of an initially simple conflict that spirals out of control. The author does a brilliant job at representing both sides of the conflict, making the reader empathise with each character showing us just how blurred the lines are between right and wrong, victim and perpetrator.
Once the scene is set, the events play out like a Greek tragedy, inevitable, fateful, almost predetermined - and yet, for all that, the conclusion is no less shocking.
Do not read lightly.
