Breaking and Entering: The Extraordinary Story of a Hacker Called "Alien" by Jeremy N. Smith
5.0
Prepub. Due out in October.
I have not been able to stop thinking about this book since I read it. Attenberg is skillful at capturing dysfunctional family dynamics and the Tuchmans are as dysfunctional as they come. Victor Tuchman is toxic masculinity defined and Attenberg guides us through the effects of that toxicity as daughter Alex tries to figure out the “why” of her family’s history. Asks the question: Is forgiveness the only option at the end of a bad person’s life or are there other ways to heal?
Recommended for fans of Jennifer Egan and Meg Wolitzer and readers who like examinations of dysfunctional family dynamics. Great book group choice.
