Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest’s maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques—all killed at Auschwitz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why. Aided by her chain-smoking mother, family members, friends, associates, a private detective, a graphologist, and many others, she embarks on a journey to discover the fate of the Rabinovitch family: their flight from Russia following the revolution, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris. What emerges is a moving saga that shatters long-held certainties about Anne’s family, her country, and herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Anne Berest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960090988662,"sku":"9781609458386","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_531e898c-7245-455a-b92e-774133903b17.jpg?v=1777483645","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/the-postcard-9781609458386","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
