Good People by Patmina Sabit is a powerful story about an Afghan family living in Northern Virginia. The Sharafs are successful and wealthy (after a rough start as immigrants), but their daughter Zorah pushes back against her confining, traditional upbringing. When she goes against her parents’ wishes, there are tragic consequences for her and the family. This book is narrated entirely by people outside the Sharafs – friends, neighbors, police, school officials – like a Greek chorus. Everyone has their own theory about what happened, with readers left to draw their own conclusions about guilt and innocence, honor killings and teenage rebellion. It’s an engrossing book that had me changing my mind every few pages, depending on whose perspective I was hearing. It also lent itself to a robust discussion at the Wonderland Books literary fiction book club. I recommend this fast-paced, well-crafted story about family, loyalty and the American dream. (I did this one partly on audio and highly recommend – there are different narrators for each person.)
