The Other Americans: A Novel

From the Pulitzer Prize finalist, author of The Moor's Account--a timely and powerful new novel about the suspicious death of a Moroccan immigrant that is at once a family saga, a murder mystery, and a love story, all of it informed by the treacherous fault lines of American culture.

Late one springÂ night, Driss Guerraoui, a Moroccan immigrant in California, is walking across a darkened intersection when he is killed by a speeding car. The repercussionsÂ ofÂ his deathÂ bring together aÂ diverseÂ cast of characters:Â Guerraoui'sÂ daughter Nora, a jazz composer who returnsÂ to the small townÂ in the MojaveÂ she thought she'd leftÂ for good; hisÂ widow Maryam, who still pines after her life in the old country; Efrain, anÂ undocumentedÂ witnessÂ whose fear of deportationÂ prevents him from coming forward;Â Jeremy, a former classmate of Nora's and a veteran of the Iraq war;Â Coleman, a detective who is slowly discovering her son's secrets;Â Anderson, a neighborÂ trying to reconnect with his family; and the murdered man himself.
Â
As the characters tell their stories, the invisible connections that tie them together--evenÂ whileÂ they remain deeply divided by race, religion, or class--are slowly revealed.Â WhenÂ the mystery of what happened to Driss Guerraoui unfolds, a family's secrets are exposed, a town's hypocrisies are faced, and love, in its messy and unpredictable forms, is born.
