by Patmeena Sabit (Author)

"A thrilling tour de force of a novel. I'll be recommending this book to everyone."--ANN PATCHETT
"[A] gorgeous and powerful debut."--TOMMY ORANGE, The New York Times
"A stunning read."--KHALED HOSSEINI
"Utterly addictive, Good People will have everyone talking."--PAULA HAWKINS

In a haunting debut novel that reads like true crime, told through a kaleidoscope of perspectives, a private tragedy thrusts one family into the court of public opinion as the media--and their own community--dissect every aspect of their lives.

ONE OF THE NEW YORKER'S BEST BOOKS OF 2026 SO FAR

Zorah Sharaf could do no wrong. Zorah Sharaf brought shame upon her family. What's the truth? Depends on who you ask.

The Sharaf family is the picture of success. Prosperous, rich, happy. They came to this country as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now, after years of hard work, they live in the most exclusive neighborhood, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah, the eldest daughter, is the apple of her father's eye.

When an unthinkable tragedy strikes, everyone is left reeling. There is talk that behind closed doors the Sharafs' happy household was anything but. Did the Sharaf family achieve the American dream? Or was the image of the model immigrant family just a façade?

Like a literary game of ping-pong, Good People compels the reader to reconsider what might have happened even on the previous page. It's a riveting, provocative story of family--sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, and the communities that claim us as family in difficult times.
