Tell Me How This Ends Well (Hardcover) by David Samuel Levinson

9780451496881. Pre-owned: Good condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 416. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 416 p. In 2022, American Jews face an increasingly unsafe and anti-Semitic landscape at home. Against this backdrop, the Jacobson family gathers for Passover in Los Angeles. But their immediate problems are more personal than political, with the three adult children, Mo, Edith, and Jacob, in various states of crisis, the result, each claims, of a lifetime of mistreatment by their father, Julian. The siblings have begun to suspect that Julian is hastening their mother Roz's demise, and years of resentment boil over as they debate whether to go through with the real reason for their reunion: an ill-considered plot to end their father's iron rule for good. That is, if they can put their bickering, grudges, festering relationships, and distrust of one another aside long enough to act. And God help them if their mother finds out.

Why is tonight different from all other nights?
Tonight we kill dad.
