<b>'A triumph... tender and gut-wrenching, honest and riveting. A book of astonishing accomplishment and bravery</b>'<i> <b>Guardian</b></i> <br><br><b>A searing, sunlit debut about the powerful bonds that make and break one Iranian-American family</b><br><br>Three young brothers leave Los Angeles in the dead of night for Iran, taken by their father from their mother to a country and an ancestral home they barely recognize. They return to the Valley months later, spit back into American life and changed in inexorable ways.<br><br>Under the dazzling light of the California sun, our protagonist, the youngest brother, begins to piece together a childhood shattered by his father's violence, a queer adolescence marked by a shy, secret love affair with a boy he meets on the basketball court, and his ever-changing status as a Muslim in America at the turn of the new millennium.<br><br>Lyrical and open-hearted, <i>I WILL GREET THE SUN AGAIN</i> is an unforgettable portrait of a family being torn apart, and a boy emerging from its ashes.<br><br><b>'Exquisite, heart-breaking, incredibly beautiful. The whole narrative thrums with a bright, warm longing' </b>Caleb Azumah Nelson, award-winning, bestselling author of <i>OPEN WATER </i>and <i>SMALL WORLDS<br></i><br><b>'This is a book I've dreamt of reading my whole life... I am jealous of the generation of people who will grow up in a world with I Will Greet the Sun Again in it. I will be thinking about these characters for the rest of my life' </b>Kaveh Akbar, author of <i>MARTYR! </i> <br><br><b>'Life-affirming... Khabushani is a talented writer' <i>Sunday Times<br></i></b><b><br>'This is a novel of survival and longing and love, and in many ways a modern portrait of an artist as a young man. It is now one of my favourite books'<i> Washington Post</i></b><b><br><br>'A heartbreaking debut'<i> New York Times <br></i></b>
