In the aftermath of his failed business, and in the midst of his strained relationship with his dying mother Eve, Elijah Mendes discovers that his family owns a Jewish cemetery, where he begins to investigate his family’s past. He uncovers that his grandfather, Yitz, was a notorious gangster in the 1920s—a truth that Eve had long hidden out of shame. Digging deeper, he uncovers secrets that draw him and his mother closer, helping them to reconcile and accept each other. “Diamond’s debut novel is a stunning story of how families bend to accommodate the unspoken, and how, every once in a while, a tenacious individual might straighten things out.”―The Millions Meet the author and join the conversation on Microsoft Teams: https://queenslib.org/3WC8h
