Produktinformationen zu „This Is Where I Leave You “
Armer Judd Foxman! Als er eines Tages nach Hause kommt, findet er seine Frau mit seinem Boss in einem Bett : in flagranti! Es droht Judd doppeltes Unglück: Scheidung und Job-Verlust! Seine Misere wird komplett, als sein Vater plötzlich stirbt. Er wird gebeten, ganz nach jüdischem Trauerbrauch im Haus seiner Kindheit 'Schiwe zu sitzen' - zusammen mit seinem wütenden Geschwistern, die in ihrem Leben versagt haben und ihm fremd sind. Es ist die Gelegenheit, in der er sich damit auseindersetzen muss, wer er wirklich ist und - viel wichtiger - wer er werden kann! Ein humorvoller, bewegender und kraftvoller Roman. 'This Is Where I Leave You' ist der perfekte Folgeroman zu 'How To Talk To A Widower' und zeigt Jonathan Tropper in Höchstform!
Klappentext zu „This Is Where I Leave You “
"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 Foxman's father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judd's 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: she's pregnant.
"This Is Where I Leave You" is Jonathan Tropper's 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.

Pressezitat
Praise for This Is Where I Leave YouIn a wry domestic tone nicely akin to Tom Perotta s, Mr. Tropper...introduces a darkly entertaining bunch of dysfunctional relatives....This author s strong suit is wisecracks, the more irreverent the better. Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Hilarious and often heartbreaking...a novel that charms by allowing for messes, loose ends and the reality that there's only one sure ending for everyone. The Los Angeles Times
[A] magnificently funny family saga....Read and weep with laughter. Grade: A Entertainment Weekly
The novel is artful and brilliant, filled with colorful narratives and witty dialogue....[Tropper] can find the funny in any situation. Associated Press
