"Meg Mullins has written a moving, crystalline tale of love...Her prose is precise, nuanced, and vivid. I was enchanted and intrigued with this tale from the beginning, and found myself pondering its intricacies long after I put the book down."
I didn't understand the ending and I am still pondering it.

Very interesting study of the loneliness of an immigrant in New York. His wife is back in Iran, he is very successful in his new business but she won't come over to live with him. He meets an American college student and they begin an affair.

The inner conflicts within us all presented in a well-written novel.
