Description
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING LENA DUNHAM AND STEPHEN FRY.

A "haunting, riotously funny, and deeply touching" (Publishers Weekly) novel about a woman and her father's journey to Poland to revisit her family history

This book was previously published under the title Too Many Men

Ruth Rothwax finds order and meaning in the words she writes for other people, but she can't find words to understand the loss her family experienced during World War II. She becomes obsessed with the idea of returning to Poland with her father, Edek, making sense of her family's past, and visiting the places where her beloved parents lived and almost died. But there's more to this trip than Ruth can plan for. By facing Poland and the past, she might be able to confront her own future.

Treasure is the gripping story of a woman's search for memory and meaning, and the reconciliation of present and past within the complicated fabric of family. Acclaimed bestselling author Lily Brett explores the reverberations of loss through this remarkable and unforgettable journey of the heart.

"[Brett] has an incredibly ability to explain the Jewish experience, and the human experience." -- LENA DUNHAM

"[Brett's] such an easy writer to read... beautifully funny, complex, and delightful as well." -- STEPHEN FRY
