Summary: The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg is our Book Club book of the week. Find out what our reading group made of it in our podcast... To describe The Middlesteins as a bittersweet, family drama in no way does justice to the subtle power which this novel wields. Centred around the break-up of a Chicago couple who have been married for thirty years, the novel delves into the dark heart of family life but manages to retain a warmth and vibrancy which few novels can to match.
