Overview

""The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember."" All in the Telling, a novel by Saul Rubinek, weaves together a true story of miraculous survival, a murder mystery, an operatic family drama, and undying romance. Also, it's very funny. When Saul falls in love with a non-Jewish woman, he discovers his immigrant, Holocaust-survivor parents are not as ""cool with it"" as he said they'd be. Their reaction is biblical. Desperate to fix his relationship with his parents, he lies and tells them he's writing a book about their story of love and survival. In chronicling their lives, Saul discovers their extraordinary loyalty and bravery-but also the lies, secrets, and deceptions buried in his family's past. It is a story that relates to all families affected by the trauma of war and the immigrant experience through the generations, no matter who they are or where they are from.

""Saul Rubinek tells a story that's sad and funny, heartbreaking and uplifting-a story of cruelty and compassion-all at the same time. How does he do that? It's all in the telling."" - ALAN ALDA, ACTOR ""Saul Rubinek has written a book about family, survival, and love. He understands and has captured the very meaning of the power of the past, its bearing on the future, and the turmoil it can cause when the unexpected happens. This is a book for our time, and it is both captivating and startling in its honesty, and in its message."" - KATE MULGREW, ACTOR AND AUTHOR, BORN WITH TEETH ""A very funny book, thankfully, because with such an intense and miraculous tale of survival and a deeply moving love story, we really need to laugh through the pain, and Saul's beautifully told book lets us do that."" - JUDD HIRSCH, ACTOR
