TBT Book Club: This is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman
Advertisement
Looking for some great summer reading? Read Allegra Goodman's novel, This is Not About Us, and then come discuss it with fellow TBT book lovers on Monday evening, August 17 at TBT!
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.
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.
A copy is available at TBT to check out. Please check with the office to see if it's available and to check it out.
