About the Author:
Review:
Dalia Sofer was born in Iran and fled at the age of ten to the United States with her family. She is the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award and has been a resident at Yaddo. A graduate of the MFA program at Sarah Lawrence College, she lives in New York City.
“A remarkable debut...richly evocative, powerfully affecting...as beautiful and delicate as a book about suffering can be.” (Claire Messud, New York Times Book Review)
“Dalia Sofer’s debut novel marks itself out as extraordinary...an impressive debut.” (Wall Street Journal)
“First time novelist Dalia Sofer does the House of Sand and Fog one better by weaving a story from four perspectives, offering a unique glimpse into the emotional fallout from political upheaval and what it’s like to know you’re about to lose everything.” (Marie Claire)
“Sofer successfully uses the rich details of a sense-saturated country to emphasize how alone her characters feel despite an appearance of family and comfort...as Sofer elegantly demonstrates in this novel...the true survivor is one who learns to preserve his identity.” (The Jewish Daily Forward)
“The same seems true about talent, which Sofer clearly possesses in abundance.” (Chicago Tribune)
“[A] gripping first novel...Sofer’s prose is lyrical and sometimes haunting.” (Miami Herald)
“In her gripping debut novel...Sofer creates a page-turner that leaves you wanting to know more.” (Philadelphia Inquirer)
“...her elegant prose works magic...Sofer perfectly captures Iran’s transition to theocratic republic.” (Financial Times)
“...brave and humane first novel... exquisite and profoundly moving.” (Weekly Standard)
“Gripping work...a powerful story honestly told.” (Christian Science Monitor)
