All This Could Be Yours

From critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling author Jami Attenberg comes a novel of family secrets: think the drama of Big Little Lies set in the heat of a New Orleans summer.

"If I know why they are the way they are, then maybe I can learn why I am the way I am," says Alex Tuchman of her parents. Now that her father, Victor, is on his deathbed, Alex--a strong-headed lawyer, devoted mother, and loving sister--feels 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.

As Barbra fends off Alex's unrelenting questions, she reflects on her tumultuous life with Victor. Meanwhile Gary, Alex's brother, is incommunicado, trying to get his movie career off the ground in Los Angeles. And Gary's 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's history, they must figure out a way to move forward--with one another, for themselves, and for the sake of their children.

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--maybe, hopefully--break free. With her signature "sparkling prose" (Marie Claire) and incisive wit, Jami Attenberg deftly explores one of the most important subjects of our age.

Sobre o Livro

Quando Victor Tuchman é levado à beira da morte, a família se reúne em Nova Orleans para lidar com o legado do patriarca e as acusações sobre sua carreira como empresário imobiliário.

Alex Tuchman, advogada e mãe, tenta extrair verdades da mãe Barbra enquanto observa o impacto de Victor sobre os filhos; a narrativa inclui cenas concretas como a soma de tensão nos encontros familiares e a ausência de Gary em Los Angeles para uma carreira cinematográfica.

A ficção explora como o comportamento abusivo de um homem poderoso pode enredar gerações, mostrando episódios de colapso emocional — como Twyla comprando batons aos montes — e oferecendo uma análise sobre o que é preciso para seguir adiante.
