A disturbing book about a young woman's world spun out of control when she loses her house and an Iranian immigrant struggling to find the American dream he feels entitled to. Both characters are simultaneously sympathetic and pathetic as they battle for the stability represented by a house in a small Californian town.

I saw this movie a few years ago and thought that Kathy was such an idiot. I was hoping to feel more compassion by reading the book and getting the full story. Conclusion: Kathy is an idiot. The book is well-written but I just couldn't care about what happened to these characters in the end.
