'A heartbreaking debut' - New York Times 'Life-affirming... Khabushani is a talented writer' -
The Sunday TimesA searing sunlit debut about the powerful bonds that make and break an
Iranian-American familyThree 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. 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. Lyrical
and open-hearted I WILL GREET THE SUN AGAIN is an unforgettable portrait of a family being
torn apart and a boy emerging from its ashes.
