Book excerpt: After years reporting on the world's war-zones, Adam returns home to the wild Appalachian mountains of Kentucky to investigate the death of Little Sam Jenkins - evangelist, snake-handler, womaniser, and also his father. Ninety-year-old Little Sam was bitten by a snake his faith couldn't defeat, handed to him by one of his followers - a beautiful young Kurdish woman called Blue. With violet eyes, red-golden hair and a reputation for being immune from earthly harm, Blue has a magic of her own, brought from the tribe she left at thirteen, and unextinguished by America and the cool reason of her husband the Professor. Irresistibly, defiantly and fatally, she is drawn to the fervour of the Appalachian Holiness snake-handlers, and then to Adam. In Adam and Blue's fierce relationship, love collides with faith, and beauty is opposed to truth, in a conflict which could destroy or redeem them. Written in mesmerising prose, Gina Nahai's new novel spans two extraordinary cultures at different ends of the world, united only by the intensity of their beliefs and the charismatic characters at their centre.

Book excerpt: How different is Iran from Appalachia? Iranian-born writer Nahai's first two novels, Cry of the Peacock and Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith, were set in her native land, to great effect and rave reviews. Now, in a thoughtfully executed third novel, Nahai takes on Appalachia, illuminating another region whose people are united by a fundamentalist faith, their beliefs as exotic to, and misunderstood by, most Western readers as those of the people of Iran. Foreign correspondent Adam Watkins is stationed in Lebanon when he receives news that Little Sam Jenkins, the father he barely knew, has died of snakebite. A snake-handling preacher who had survived nine decades of hard living and 446 snakebites, Sam finally succumbed to the venom of a snake given to him by Blue, a gorgeous Kurdish woman born in Iraq, and herself a skilled snake-handler who never fit in with the Holy Rollers. Adam, having tried for 18 years to create a new life for himself, returns home looking for answers: What drove Sam? And was Blue merely testing Sam's faith, or did she intend to kill him? A strong sense of geography and religious history provides the backdrop as Nahai explores the enigma of charisma, opening a window on an insular world and rendering the "other" America explicable. Alternating with Adam's story is the first-person account of Blue, her voice charged with the mythic, seductive power of a Scheherazade. Faith versus fanaticism, fear as a motivating force for seeking salvation these themes are examined, as events both tragic and redemptive unfold. This multifaceted work expands Nahai's fictional universe in new and curiously fitting directions. Agent, Barbara Lowenstein. (Nov. 1)Forecast: Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith was a bestseller on the West Coast and has been translated into 16 languages. The Appalachia setting of Nahai's latest may startle her fans and lead to slow sales at first, but strong reviews should attract new readers.
