If you've read the magnificent "House of Sand and Fog", this might be a bit of a disappointment. Many of the characters feel "revisited" form the earlier novel, (ie. the young woman living on the edge, the angry young man). There is, again, no pure delineation between good and evil--except for a blameless child. But---who serves up the disenfranchised better than Dubus?? He certainly kept me reading, and the intertwining of lives with 9/11 was ingenious. I would recommend this despite the caveats.
