Anne Berest is featured in a New York Times article titled, “An Unsigned Postcard Named Four Family Members Who Died in the Holocaust. Why?”The mysterious card, from 2003, is at the center of Anne Berest’s book, which is part detective story, part examination of French attitudes toward Judaism.
“…The Postcard recreates in stunning detail the lives of Berest’s lost family members and weaves them into a detective story, loosely centered on the postcard. Part Holocaust drama, part family mystery, the novel led Berest to relive some of the grimmest hours of France’s recent history and to examine her own experience of being Jewish. Europa Editions will release an English translation by Tina Kover on Tuesday” (Cappelle).
