Review
Jami Attenberg's work is so deeply attuned to humans and our imperfect attempts to love each other ... Attenberg handles it all with an expert touch and a keen sense of what, despite all the sadness and secrets, keeps people connected, striving for moments of beauty and tenderness in a dark world (Emma Cline, author of The Girls)
An ambitious and utterly delectable novel about families and their secrets that opens up, pleasurably, like a set of nesting dolls. (Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble)
No one understands the contradictions of the human heart and how our grace and our failures reverberate through our families better than Jami Attenberg. And no one writes about our grace and failures with humor and compassion better than her either. (Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird)
The novel takes place in one very long day but encompasses the entirety of lifetimes ... Prickly and unsentimental, but never quite hopeless, Attenberg, poet laureate of difficult families, captures the relentlessly lonely beauty of being alive. Not a gentle novel but a deeply tender one. (Kirkus)
A richly drawn pleasure (People Magazine)
Attenberg writes with a deeply human understanding of her characters, and the fact that, when it comes to family, things are rarely well enough to leave alone (Booklist)
A dark, deliciously captivating look into the way a toxic patriarch can poison everyone around him ... There are no easy resolutions offered here, but that's as it should be (Nylon)
A deep dive into the darker side of family bonds, All This Could Be Yours is another compulsively readable novel by Jami Attenberg ... This is a parable for our times. (Observer)
Versatile, earthbound, and unforgiving ... a comic blend of messy family drama (Vulture)
A Must-Read (Entertainment Weekly)
Book Description
An unforgettable novel of family secrets from New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins
