ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS
*BuzzFeed, "66 books Coming in 2019 That You'll Want to Keep On Your Radar"
*Publishers Weekly, "Buzz Book Fall Winter 2019"
From New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg comes a sharp, funny, emotionally powerful novel that urgently asks, How do we rebuild and break free from the painful legacies of the past?
"If I know why he is the way he is then maybe I can learn why I am the way I am," says Alex Tuchman, strong- headed lawyer, loving mother, and daughter of Victor Tuchman - a power-hungry real estate developer and, by all accounts, a bad man. Now that Victor is on his deathbed, Alex feels she can finally unearth the secrets of who he is and what he did over the course of his life and career.
She travels to New Orleans to be with her family, but mostly to interrogate her tightlipped mother, Barbra. As Barbra fends off Alex's unrelenting questions, she reflects on her life with Victor - one full of ups and downs, one she worked hard to keep from careening out of control. Meanwhile Gary, Alex's brother, is incommunicado in LA, and Gary's wife, Twyla, is having a nervous breakdown in New Orleans. Dysfunction is at its peak. And as each family member reckons with Victor's dark past, they must figure out a way to move forwardwith one another, for themselves, and for the sake of their children.
All This Could Be Yours is a piercing exploration of what it means to be caught in the web of a toxic man; it shows how abuses of power can infect a family for generations and what it takes to - maybe, hopefully - make things right again.
Jami Attenberg is the New York Times bestselling author of six novels, including The Middlesteins and All Grown Up. She has contributed essays about sex, urban life, and food to The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, and Lenny Letter, among other publications.
IST ALLES DEINS!
