"Nora Guerraoui, a jazz composer, returns home to a small town in the Mojave after hearing that her father, owner of a popular restaurant, has been killed in a suspicious hit-and-run car accident.

Told by multiple narrators from the local community, The Other Americans deftly explores one family's secrets and hypocrisies even as it offers a portrait of Americans riven by race, class, and religion, living side by side, yet ignorant of the vicissitudes that each tribe, as it were, faces.

This story 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. "
