He is a straight-A student and an affable stoner; the high-achieving son of Iranian immigrants, and a Californian surf kid; Alireza, and just plain Rez. But when a terror incident shocks the nation - and then another, and another - Rez finds that the world has only one idea about the type of person he is; that his name and the colour of his skin make him an object of suspicion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there are new friends to shine a light into Rez's isolated, angry existence - Arash, a fellow Muslim student, and the beautiful Fatima. Little by little, Rez is drawn into a new circle, a circle as troubling as it is consoling - and which has a grim and glorious mission in mind for him. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInsightful, nuanced and timely, A Good Country is an unforgettable coming-of-age story which deftly captures a young man's alienation and search for identity in a flawed and violent world.","brand":"Khadivi, Laleh","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44458467983650,"sku":"9781408876039","price":11.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/khadivi-laleh-a-good-country-9781408876039-40579787653410.jpg?v=1676316039","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/a-good-country","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
