Synopsis

Three siblings come together when their cold, unemotional mother dies. They have each been left an inheritance, but the distribution is far from even. One son, Paul has been left the German money, $1 million of German reparation money, a gift as cynical as it is generous. As the siblings quarrel over the money, racked with guilt for abandoning their Alzheimer-riddled father in his nursing home, Paul becomes increasingly suspicious about his mother s sudden death and decides to investigate. Lev Raphael has written a novel in which the problems of a contemporary Jewish family find their roots in the unspeakable secrets of Holocaust survivors.

Review

"Lev Raphael's new novel is a powerful, haunting and erotic tale. The stunning narrative builds to a shocking denouement and kept me turning pages faster and faster to learn the truth."
