Description
A vivid portrait of twentieth-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life unfolds in Anne Berest's The Postcard. When an anonymous postcard arrives at the Berest family home, it sets off a chain of events that shatters long-held certainties about their past. The postcard, bearing a photo of the Opéra Garnier, is accompanied by the names of Ephraïm and Emma, and their children Noémie and Jacques - all killed at Auschwitz. Fifteen years later, Anne Berest's heroine embarks on a journey to uncover the identity of the sender and the fate of her family. As she delves deeper into the mystery, a moving saga emerges that reveals a complex web of secrets, stories, and identities.
