From the bestselling author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays comes a captivating new novel about a priceless inheritance that leads one family on a life-altering pursuit of the truth.
The Millers are far from perfect. Estranged siblings Beck, Ashley and Jake find themselves under one roof for the first time in years, forced to confront old resentments and betrayals, when their mysterious, eccentric matriarch, Helen, passes away. But their lives are about to change when they find a secret inheritance hidden among her possessions--the Florentine Diamond, a 137-carat yellow gemstone that went missing from the Austrian Empire a century ago.
Desperate to learn how one of the world's most elusive diamonds ended up in Helen's bedroom, they begin investigating her past only to realize how little they know about their brave, resilient grandmother. As the Millers race to determine whether they are the rightful heirs to the diamond and the fortune it promises, they uncover a past more tragic and powerful than they ever could have imagined, forever changing their connection to their heritage and each other.
Inspired by the true story of the real, still-missing Florentine Diamond, The Imperfects illuminates the sacrifices we make for family and how sometimes discovering the truth of the past is the only way to better the future.

Описание:
Books written to address the myth that Jews are no good at sport all have a common flaw - discussing a list of great Jewish athletes does not allow us to gauge the overall success (or failure) of Jews as a group at sport. This book provides such a gauge by comparing the successes of Jewish athletes with those of Australian athletes at the Summer Olympics.
The book is, however, more than a comparison of two groups of athletes. Intriguing personal stories, snippets of history and the intertwining of bigotry and irony will engage the reader. Who would think it possible that five Jewish athletes could survive incarceration by the Nazis to subsequently compete at the Olympics with one of them winning a gold medal while three of them would also set world records? Or that the most successful Olympians in countries who have treated their Jewish citizens most harshly are two Jewish women-Irena Kirszenstein-Szewinska in Poland and Agnes Keleti in Hungary? Is there a more fitting irony than the 1938 Nazi propaganda movie, Olympia, inadvertently showcasing a Jewish Olympian as its hero?
