 e book</p>\n<p>"Was this just a brief skirmish\, or the beginning of a thi
 rty-year feud? In the Rubenstein family\, it could go either way. When the
 ir beloved older sister passes away\, Sylvia and Helen Rubinstein are unmo
 ored. A misunderstanding about apple cake turns into decades of stubborn s
 ilence. Busy with their own lives-divorces\, dating\, career setbacks\, co
 llege applications\, bat mitzvahs and ballet recitals-their children do no
 t want to get involved. As for their grandchildren? Impossible. With This 
 is Not About Us\, master storyteller Allegra Goodman--whose prior collecti
 on was heralded as "one of the most astute and engaging books about Americ
 an family life" (The Boston Globe)--returns to the form and subject that e
 ndeared 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 weigh
 t of parental expectations\, and the complex connection between sisters. A
  big-hearted book about the love that binds a family across generations"--
