All this can be yours

All this could be yours / Jami Attenberg, read by Therese Plummer, 299 pgs.

Always a fan of a dysfunctional family story, this one MIGHT be a little too far. This family consists of a very bad guy who marries a cold woman who has two kids that they ignore or abuse.  Where do you go from here?  The two kids marry and have children of their own.  We peak into the family life and flashback to how it started. We travel into the next generation.  The story here is interesting at times, bu often unfocused.  There are ancillary characters that we get to know a little bit about then they just disappear.  I didn't love this but didn't hate it either.  I think this was a bit of a wasted opportunity.
