When We Were Bad is a spellbinding, witty and poignant portrayal of a family in crisis, in love, and in denial.
That is until Leo bolts and the gleaming bubble surrounding the Rubins threatens to burst.įrances - Claudia's calm, mature, married daughter - tries to hold the nucleus of the family together, but the stress forces her to re-examine her own life, leading her to make a decision as shocking as Leo's.Īnd Claudia's husband, Norman, has an uncharacteristic secret, the imminent unveiling of which he is powerless to stop. Wife, mother, rabbi - and sometimes moral voice of the nation - everyone wants to be with her at her son Leo's glorious wedding. In North London, Claudia Rubin is in her heyday.
A beautifully observed literary comedy as well as a painfully accurate description of one big old family mess.
