About this audiobook

It’s Christmas 1980, and inside a sprawling Upper West Side apartment, Faye Bascov is about to throw an opulent Christmas dinner—a tradition for this secular, well-educated Jewish family. But any family gathering is an invitation for old resentments to boil over, as Faye’s sister-in-law Julie and the extended family have plenty to hash out. Flash-forward to 2000, and the apartment, now much shabbier, reflects how the family’s fortunes have changed, and the Bascovs now have to reckon with the legacy of their family discord.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Matthew Arkin as Ben
Wilson Bethel as Scotty/Tim
Dana Delany as Julie
Seamus Dever as Jeff
Justin Huen as the Voice of Hector
