About the book
Elinor's comfortable life - popular newspaper column, stable marriage, well-adjusted kids - is totally upended when she finds out that her estranged uncle is coming to Jerusalem to give a speech asking forgiveness for his decades-old book, Hitler, First Person. A shocking novel that galvanized the Jewish diaspora, it was Aaron Gotthilf's attempt to understand and explain what it would have been like to be Hitler. While writing this controversial novel, Gotthilf stayed in Elinor's parent's house and sexually assaulted her sister. Now she wants to avenge her sister.
