Victor Tuchman is dying, and his family doesn't know how to feel about that. As they converge at his deathbed, some are trying to pry out secrets, some are trying to avoid recently aired secrets, and others are just hoping to breathe freely again.

ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS is a study of a family trapped by an abusive patriarch - an exploration of how each person was affected differently and how their individual experiences shaped them. I felt so deeply for each person, especially the women. And to watch each of them reckon with their choices and try to figure out how to grieve this man who was a towering figure in their lives - they felt like real people living real, messy lives that don't always make logical sense or tie up in neat bows.

I loved the wide variety of perspectives, including the short passages where we heard from folks outside the situation that family members were interacting with. Just another little reminder that everyone is a supporting character in someone else's life.
