3.5 stars
It is the year 2022 and Israel has collapsed and the influx of immigrants into the United States has caused an increase in anti-Semitic activity. Amongst this backdrop, a dysfunctional Jewish family is coming together for the holidays with lots a baggage and a nefarious plan in the works. I actually enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It is darkly funny and the family dynamics are entertaining, however, it is just too long. An entire section told from one perspective really could have been eliminated because the story, and especially the dialogue, just became so repetitive. I appreciated how realistic the lightly dystopic setting felt and as I said, did mostly enjoy the writing. I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.
