They arrived in America as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now, after years of hard work, they live in the most exclusive neighbourhood, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah, the eldest daughter, is the apple of her father's eye. But when Zorah dies in an unthinkable tragedy, the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that the Sharafs' happy household was anything but, and soon the veneer of the model immigrant family starts to crumble. Those who knew her best - and those who never met her - all have an opinion on who Zorah really was, and what really happened to her . . . Told through the chorus of voices surrounding the Sharafs, Good People is a riveting, provocative and unforgettable story of community, family and identity.___________________________________________________________________________'THIS YEAR'S MOST HOTLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT...MORE THAN LIVES UP TO THE HYPE' STYLIST'THRILLING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING' ECONOMIST'GRIPPING STUFF' DAILY MAIL'A SWEEPING FAMILY SAGA' SUNDAY TIMES'PROPULSIVE' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT'BRILLIANT' MONICA ALI'A BLINDER OF A DEBUT' IRISH INDEPENDENT'GRIPPING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING' LOUISE O'NEILL'A CLEVER WHODUNNIT' RED'UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'LL READ THIS YEAR' ANNA BAILEY'THRILLING AND ADDICTIVE' INEWS'ABSOLUTELY RIVETING' EMMA VAN STRAATEN

Mer om författaren

Patmeena Sabit was born in Kabul a few years after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. When she was a month old, her family fled the conflict and became refugees in Pakistan, joining the millions of other Afghans that had sought refuge there. They later moved to the United States and she grew up in Virginia. She currently lives in Toronto. Good People is her debut novel.

Recensioner i media

Good People is a stunning read. I could not recommend it more enthusiastically. The story of an investigation into a suspicious death, this rich novel is so much more. Written with raw emotional insight, this page-turner is a fascinating, kaleidoscopic look at a grieving Afghan family caught between culture and country. With startling empathy for all sides, Patmeena Sabit plumbs the fault lines of honor, truth, prejudice, and how identity shapes guilt in the aftermath of tragedy. What a spectacular triumph this book is. This is the Afghan novel I have been eagerly waiting for
