House of Sand and Fog is a 1999 novel that was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction. It follows Massoud Behrani, a former Iranian colonel who fled to America with his wife and two children after the Iranian Revolution as he yearns to restore his family’s dignity. Kathy Nicolo is a recovering addict whose husband recently left her and is struggling to hold on to the one thing she has left. Great conflict ensues as Massoud and Kathy compete for ownership of a bungalow in the Bay Area town of Corona.
