Title: Among the Ginzburgs
First published: 1996
Description: Brought together by the sudden return of Meyer, the erudite father who abandoned them nearly thirty years ago, the five Ginzburg children reunite in mid-life at what was once the family's summer house in the Catskills. Articulate and ambitious, combative and funny, the siblings reluctantly interrupt their complicated lives and are swept inexorably into the bittersweet tangle of old family alliances and resentments. Over the weekend they skirmish, match wits and rehash the past.

At the same time a desperate urgency permeates the hours, for the long-lost Meyer, suffering from leukemia, is in the last moments of his life.
