THE REAL MRS. TOBIAS
THE REAL MRS. TOBIAS is a warm and witty novel about the special, complicated relationships between mothers and daughters-in-law and the web of family that we weave together.
Set in New York City and rural Iowa, the story keenly observes the dynamics between three generations of Tobias women. Melanie, a therapist in her 40s, is the linchpin of the family, set on keeping the peace despite rocky relationships with her mother-in-law Veronika, a haughty, intimidating psychiatrist, and her own daughter-in-law Birdie, who resents Melanie’s meddling ways.
When an accident threatens to wreck Birdie’s shaky marriage to Melanie’s son, Micah, and Birdie flees New York City with her daughter (and Melanie’s beloved granddaughter) in tow, the Tobias family is tested like never before. And as the older generation of the family face troubles of their own, Melanie is forced to reevaluate her relationships to both her mother and daughter-in-law and her rethink what it means to be a family. Crisply written with equal parts heart and humor, THE REAL MRS. TORBIAS is a modern family saga for readers of THE NEST by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, ALL ADULTS HERE by Emma Straus, and THE THREE WEISSMAN’S OF WESTPORT by Cathleen Schine.
Sally Koslow’s last novel was ANOTHER SIDE OF PARADISE, which recreates the iconic love affair between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sheila Graham. She has written five other contemporary novels, including THE LATE, LAMENTED MOLLY MARX, a European bestseller, and SLOUCHING TOWARD ADULTHOOD, a work of non-fiction. Her books have been published in fourteen countries.
