New York Times–Bestselling Author: A Manhattan chef with a tragic past tries to build a new family in this decade-spanning, “exquisite page-turner” (People).

In 1965 New York, patrons flock to Masha’s to savor its brisket bourguignon and impeccable service and to admire its dashing owner and head chef Peter Rashkin. With his movie-star good looks, Peter, a survivor of Auschwitz, is the most eligible bachelor in town. But Peter doesn’t care for the parade of eligible women who come to the restaurant hoping to catch his eye. He’s resigned himself to a solitary life. Running Masha’s consumes him, as does his terrible guilt over surviving the Nazi death camp while his wife—the restaurant’s namesake—and two young daughters perished.

Then June Bouquet, an up-and-coming model, appears at the restaurant, piercing Peter’s guard. Though she’s far younger than he is, the two begin a passionate, whirlwind courtship. When June unexpectedly becomes pregnant, Peter proposes, believing that beginning a new family with the woman he loves will allow him to let go of the horror of the past. But over the next twenty years, the indelible sadness of those memories will overshadow Peter, June, and their daughter Elsbeth, transforming them in shocking, heartbreaking, and unexpected ways. Spanning three decades, The Lost Family is an insightful, funny, and elegantly bittersweet study of the repercussions of loss and love.

“An evocative look at the legacy of war and how it impacts one memorable family.” —Jami Attenberg, bestselling author of The Middlesteins
