I relished every moment of this warm, funny, brutally engaging novel. Abdi Nazemians Los Angeles is both uncannily familiar and entirely foreign.

The Walk-In Closet is a contemporary fable of love, loss and redemption, set between cultures and between the sexes. Written at a spanking pace, with humor, suspense and a heart, it captures the voice of a generation and paves the way to a new genre of literary fiction.

Kara Walker has never found much glamour in her own life, especially not when compared to the life of her best friend Bobby Ebadi. Bobby, along with his sophisticated parents Leila and Hossein, is everything Kara always wanted to be. The trio provides the perfect antidote to what Kara views as the more mundane problems of her girlfriends and her divorced parents.

And so when the Ebadis assume that Kara is Bobbys girlfriend, she willingly steps into the role. She enjoys the perks of life in this closet, not only Leilas designer hand-me-downs and free rent, but also the excitement of living life as an Ebadi.
