Oh, Brother

This book is written in three parts. Part I begins the tale of three adopted brothers, all very different, living with their single dad, an Imam. You learn that the dad is distant but caring, and that somehow, our narrator, Youssef, is the non-favored son. He also has a secret--a brother that seems so real to him as to be an actual person. As the boys navigate childhood, they find out that their dad has a secret (or secrets) of his own.

Part II was much less linear, and I had a harder time tracking the story, but was still hanging in there. I won't give any spoilers here.

By the time Part III came around, I just hated it. I did finish it, but won't be looking for any other books by this author.
