Description

Description

When We Were Bad is a witty and poignant portrayal of a family in crisis, love, and denial. Claudia Rubin's life seems perfect - wife, mother, rabbi - but when her son Leo jilts his bride at their wedding, the facade begins to crack.

The stress forces Frances, Claudia's calm and mature daughter, to re-examine her own life, leading her to make a shocking decision. Meanwhile, Norman, Claudia's husband, has an uncharacteristic secret that threatens to upend their family dynamics.

This spellbinding novel is a beautifully observed literary comedy that also offers a painfully accurate description of one big old family mess. With its fast-paced and engaging narrative, When We Were Bad is a brilliant, touching, and true portrayal of the complexities of family life.
