Books like The lost family by Jenna Blum


Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s Manhattan, the story centers on Peter Rashkin, the owner and chef of the popular dining spot Masha’s. Peter carries the heavy weight of surviving Auschwitz, feeling deep guilt for surviving while his wife, Masha, and their two daughters perished. Despite being regarded as the city’s most eligible bachelor, he leads a solitary existence. Peter’s world shifts when he meets the talented model June Bouquet. Their passionate romance promises healing, yet their shared history, steeped in loss and trauma, continues to cast long shadows over them and their daughter, Elsbeth. Over the course of twenty years, grief and memory profoundly alter the lives of Peter, June, and Elsbeth in powerful and unexpected ways.
