About the book
In this kaleidoscopic memoir, Elissa Altman tells the story of tradition, expectations, religion and rule-breaking that defined her childhood, from the dinner table to the synagogue to the bedrooms of her apartment building. Spanning from 1940s wartime Brooklyn to 1960s and '70s Queens to present day rural New England, Treyf is a story of contradiction, hope, betrayal and one family's relentless yearning for acceptance; it is a vivid tale of what it means to find yourself both in spite of, and in honour to, your past.
