Good People - Patmeena Sabit

24.95 €

Zorah Sharaf's friends know her as witty, confident, obsessed with Paris; Zorah Sharaf's family know her as their beloved daughter and sister; Zorah Sharaf's community know her as a selfish girl intent on dragging her father's name through the mud. So who is Zorah Sharaf? EVERYONE THINKS THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED . . . 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.
