It was exactly one year ago today, my father said, that the hostages were taken. He looked at me as if he wanted me to say something. I figured he was probably wrong about it being a year to the day, but I wasn't about to tell him that. A year is a long time, he said. A lot can happen in a year. In the company of classic coming-of-age works, Richard Zuras's debut novel tells the story of a boy's final year of childhood and a family's near disintegration. When Zain's father is fired from the CIA in March of 1980, it creates a tremor that threatens to upend the family's precarious balance. Zain's awakening to a world riddled with cracks and his adolescent attempts to mend them are the stuff from which young men, and great stories, are made.
