Now that her father, Victor, is on his deathbed, Alexa strong-headed lawyer, devoted mother, and loving sisterfeels 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 moviecareer 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 forwardwith 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 tomaybe, hopefullybreak free.With her signature ';sparkling prose' (Marie Claire) and incisive wit, Jami Attenberg deftly explores one of the most important subjects of our age.
