Hadassah Sharon Chapter
October On The Same Page Book Club
Thursday, October 15 · 1:30-3:30 pm
at a private home in New York, NY 10023 (Address provided upon registration)
Let's get together in person, in the usual Lincoln Center location, for eating and socializing starting at 1:30 pm with coffee/tea and delectable desserts followed by "sharing of thoughts" on "This Is Not About Us" by Allegra Goodman, ending around 3:30 pm.
When their beloved sister passes away, Sylvia and Helen Rubinstein are unmoored. A misunderstanding about apple cake turns into a decade of stubborn silence. Busy with their own lives—divorces, dating, career setbacks, college applications, bat mitzvahs and ballet recitals—their children do not want to get involved. As for their grandchildren? Impossible. With This Is Not About Us, master storyteller Allegra Goodman—whose prior collection was heralded as “one of the most astute and engaging books about American family life” (The Boston Globe)—returns to the form and subject that endeared her to legions of readers. Sharply observed and laced with humor, This Is Not About Us is a story of growing up and growing old, the weight of parental expectations, and the complex connection between sisters—a big-hearted book about the love that binds a family across generations.
