All This Could Be Yours by Jami Attenberg

This seemed like a very different book for this author.  I recall the Middlesteins being funny. This book was not! But it was powerful.  The reader REALLY hates Victor, the husband who cheats (in many ways), hurts, abuses and doesn't even seem to care!

Love this final paragraph from the NPR review:

Attenberg brings air into this potentially suffocating story with wit, and with occasional digressions into some of the peripheral people the Tuchmans encounter without a thought as they move around post-Katrina New Orleans — a trolley conductor, ferry worker, EMT, and coroner. Initially jarring, these reminders that the people who make the city run have their own histories and troubles underscore the fact that life can be challenging. But they also reassure us of the possibility of not just good in this world but decency.
