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\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Europa Editions","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45135493136535,"sku":"9781609458386","price":2052.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781609458386.webp?v=1767653064","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-postcard-9781609458386","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
