All This Could Be Yours by Jami Attenberg

A tale of a dysfunctional family that I gobbled up. In Attenberg’s latest novel we witness the fall out of a terrible father and an equally terrible, albeit not criminal, mother. What ensues is a weird kind of pseudo vigil while
waiting for a bad man to die. The situations the characters found themselves in were unique, disastrous, and masterfully portrayed. Post-Katrina New Orleans is a wonderful setting in which to explore how we survive terrible parents and circumstances.
