A kaleidoscopic portrait of a modern American family-steadfast, complicated, begrudging, and loving-from the bestselling author of Isola
"Wise, witty . . . a deliciously readable book [about] the delicate minutiae of family life, played beautifully, boldly, brightly in a major key."-The New York Times Book Review
"Goodman's mature and deftly written book suggests that, in family as in art, there is no such thing as uncomplicated happiness."-The Wall Street Journal
Was this just a brief skirmish, or the beginning of a thirty-year feud? In the Rubinstein family, it could go either way.
When their beloved sister passes away, Sylvia and Helen Rubinstein are unmoored. A misunderstanding about apple cake turns into a decade of stubborn silence. Busy with their own lives-divorces, dating, career setbacks, college applications, bat mitzvahs and ballet recitals-their children do not want to get involved. As for their grandchildren? Impossible.
With This Is Not About Us, master storyteller Allegra Goodman-whose prior collection was heralded as "one of the most astute and engaging books about American family life" (The Boston Globe)-returns to the form and subject that endeared her to legions of readers. Sharply observed and laced with humor, This Is Not About Us is a story of growing up and growing old, the weight of parental expectations, and the complex connection between sisters-a big-hearted book about the love that binds a family across generations.
