The best debut I‘ve read in a very long time‘ MONICA ALI ___________________________________________________________________________ Zorah Sharaf could do no wrong. Zorah Sharaf brought shame upon her family. What‘s the truth? Depends on who you ask. The Sharaf family is the picture of success. 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, everyone is left reeling and the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that behind closed doors 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 . . . A kaleidoscopic, urgent narrative, told through the chorus of voices surrounding the Sharafs, Good People is a riveting, provocative and unforgettable story of community, family and identity. ‘A remarkable, unsettling snapshot of our complicated times‘ SAMEER PANDYA, author of OUR BEAUTIFUL BOYS
