This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper Often sidesplitting, mostly heartbreaking...[Tropper is] a more sincere, insightful version of Nick Hornby, that other master of male psyche. USA Today The death of Judd Foxmans father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judds wife, Jen, whose affair with his radio- shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and his marriage, Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they reluctantly sit shiva-and spend seven days and nights under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of control as longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed and old passions are reawakened. Then Jen delivers the clincher: shes pregnant. This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Troppers (One Last Thing Before I Go) most accomplished work to date, and a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind-whether we like it or not. https://youtube/watch?v=fH0cEP0mvlU
