Description
Three things that heard his father kept James: a British military ID, a large cucumber jar, and a letter in a language he can't read. They are supposed to help him find family history. From Boston, where he grew up protected, James travels to Vienna and further into the east, to Ukraine. He meets the mysterious Vera, his grandmother, of whom his father had always claimed she would live in bitter poverty. But the truth looks different: Vera was boss in the "widow's house," a luxurious brothel, and her two sons, his uncles, also seem entangled in her opaque machinations. James faces a brutal world where prostitution and human trafficking are all naturally part of the business - and this world has more to do with him than he could ever suspect. A big book about fathers and sons and a thriller.
