Hardcover first edition - The first novel by this Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, one which chronicles the "desperate, confused, marginal lives of a group of Arab Muslims in Boston, Montreal, and Brooklyn.

Adams does a masterful job of rendering Aziz's confusion as he confronts a strange language in an almost unknowable world, tries to suss out what illegal goings-on his cousin is up to, sleeps in a chair a few hours a night, and works in a low-paying job for a brutish boss." This book raises the question of who is a terrorist and it also shows that there are no easy answers.
