An exhilarating novel about one American family, the dark moment that shatters their suburban paradise, and the wild legacy of trauma and inheritance, from the New York Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in Trouble.  The Long Island Compromise is a satiric look at Jewish life in the US as well as the impact of trauma on the life of a family.  The book poignantly weaves American Jewish culture with the life of a family in crisis as a result of the lasting impact of an event in the life of one character.  It's exploration of the complexities of personalities, differing levels of Jewish engagement, and Jewish life in the US is compelling and at times reveals great humor in our ability to laugh at ourselves.
