The Mathematician's Shiva by Stuart Rojstaczer

A brilliant but enigmatic mathematician dies suddenly, and during the weeklong Jewish mourning ritual his children, colleagues and former students gather at his home, unearthing family tensions, academic rivalries and long-hidden secrets; as they grapple with grief and conflicting memories, the novel explores the interplay between mathematical obsession, personal betrayal and the human need for connection and meaning.
