AT THE HEART of Gina Nahai’s sweeping, multigenerational novel The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. — which chronicles a longstanding feud in the Soleyman family that begins in Tehran in the 1950s and is carried over to present-day Los Angeles — lies the importance of names. “A name, after all,” we are told, “defined not only the person, but dozens of generations of his grandchildren as well. It determined a family’s status, occupation, and the limits of their aspirations.” So it is no wonder that a name is claimed, coveted, revered, envied, and, when contested, reason enough for bloodshed. Prix et récompenses
The Soleymans, an Iranian Jewish family, are tormented for decades by Raphael's Son, a crafty and unscrupulous financier who has futilely claimed to be an heir to the family's fortune. Forty years later in contemporary Los Angeles, Raphael's Son has nearly achieved his goal--until he suddenly disappears, presumed by many to have been murdered.
