Description
The Postcard
In January 2003, the Berest family received a mysterious postcard with an image of the Opéra Garnier and the names of their relatives who were killed in Auschwitz. This event sets off a chain of investigation that takes Anne 100 years into the past, tracing her ancestors' lives from Russia to Latvia, Palestine, Paris, and beyond. As she delves deeper into her family's history, Anne uncovers a complex web of secrets, love, and loss. Her journey is both a gripping investigation into family history and a poignant tale of mothers and daughters. The Postcard is a powerful exploration of the human experience, set against the backdrop of 20th-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life. This extraordinary true novel is a moving and thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.Related Products
