"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.
