Ruth Rothwax is in control. She keeps her mind sound with her successful New York-based letter-writing business; she keeps her body sound by running and lifting weights. There's no one she has to report to since her three marriages ended. A good life, all in all . . .But there's something missing.
Ruth has a burning need to travel with her grandfather Edek to Poland. She needs him to help her make sense of the past - to make sense of the murder of her family. She needs him to help her understand who she is.
So why are people staring at her as if they've seen a ghost?
