HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG by Andre Dubus III

FIC
DUBUS III, A.

Compelling, beautifully written story of two individuals' struggle for a house. Colonel Behrani, an Iranian immigrant, has purchased a house at public auction and hopes to sell it for a nice profit. Unfortunately, the house was sold due to an error by the county, and its owner, Kathy Nicolo, a recovering addict, is evicted.

Neither person sill back down when Deputy Sheriff Lester Burden becomes involved int he dispute, as well as romantically with Kathy, the results are tragic.
