"In a voice at once acerbic and lyrical, Eslami deftly navigates the choppy waters of a cross-cultural father-daughter relationship bowing beneath the strain of post-grad ennui. From the streets of Tehran to the backroads of Arrowhead, Georgia, Bone Worship gnaws and sings." -- Megan Brothers, author of Debbie Harry Sings in French "With genuine warmth, Elizabeth Eslami explores those fragile in-between times of our lives. She does so with compassion and honesty and with a wry yet gentle humor that had me laughing out loud. Bone Worship is a treasure, and Eslami is a writer to keep your eyes on." -- David Haynes, author of The Full Matilda "Wildly original, Bone Worship is a real find. A superbly cranky American daughter and her impossible, mysterious Iranian father are the fabulous characters populating this wonderful novel. At once comic and serious, unpredictable at every turn, with a cross-cultural family drama that cracks through old notions." -- Joan Silber, author of The Size of the World and Ideas of Heaven
