My father my father (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648555322)

Bernard Marin, a successful Jewish accountant, was almost fifty when he was suddenly struck down by crippling headaches. The problem, however, was not just physical. Bernard's distress was the result of years of denial over his poor relationship with his father, who had died fourteen years before.

Stan Marin had told his son nothing of his life; indeed, he had barely seemed to notice his son's existence. When his father died, Bernard had felt only relief; and until now had thought that he was free of his father and his father's past.

This book the story of what happened next, as Bernard Marin almost fell apart, driven by an overwhelming compulsion to discover what had been kept from him. His journey has led to this extraordinary tale of loss, discovery and redemption.
