Summary
“So good, so damn compulsively readable, that I can hardly believe it.” ―Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

In his stunning follow-up to the #1 best-selling House of Sand and Fog, Andre Dubus draws us into the lives of three deeply flawed, driven people whose paths intersect on a September night in Florida. April, a stripper, has brought her daughter to work at the Puma Club for Men. There she encounters Bassam, a foreign client both remote and too personal, and free with his money. Meanwhile, another man, AJ, has been thrown out of the club, and he’s drunk and angry and lonely. From these explosive elements comes a relentless, raw, and page-turning narrative that seizes the reader by the throat with psychological tension, depth, and realism.

I enjoyed listening to this book, because it was a very good insight into the human soul. If you are sensitive to violence and sexual content then this book may not be for you. I did not really like any of the characters other than Jean, but the author made you understand the motifs behind his characters actions and bad decisions. I was especially sad for A.J. I think listening to this book is better than reading it. The narrator did a very good delivery of the arabic, it really put Bassam, the scary foreigner, in a very real light. Not a happy book, but I recommend anyways.
