Welcome Readers!<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I know why they are the way they are, then maybe I can learn why I am the way I am,\u201d says Alex Tuchman of her parents. Now that her father, Victor, is on his deathbed, Alex\u2014a strong-headed lawyer, devoted mother, and loving sister\u2014feels she can finally unearth the secrets of who Victor is and what he did over the course of his life and career. (A power-hungry real estate developer, he is, by all accounts, a bad man.) She travels to New Orleans to be with her family, but mostly to interrogate her tight-lipped mother, Barbra.<\/em><\/p>\n As Barbra fends off Alex\u2019s unrelenting questions, she reflects on her tumultuous life with Victor. Meanwhile Gary, Alex\u2019s brother, is incommunicado, trying to get his movie career off the ground in Los Angeles. And Gary\u2019s wife, Twyla, is having a nervous breakdown, buying up all the lipstick in drugstores around New Orleans and bursting into crying fits. Dysfunction is at its peak. As family members grapple with Victor\u2019s history, they must figure out a way to move forward\u2014with one another, for themselves, and for the sake of their children.<\/em><\/p>\n All This Could Be Yours is a timely, piercing exploration of what it means to be caught in the web of a toxic man who abused his power; it shows how those webs can entangle a family for generations, and what it takes to\u2014maybe, hopefully\u2014break free. With her signature \u201csparkling prose\u201d (Marie Claire) and incisive wit, Jami Attenberg deftly explores one of the most important subjects of our age.<\/em> – Ecco<\/p>\n Looking for some other domestic fiction?
