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\r\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","brand":"Anne Berest","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Cloth over boards","offer_id":44959881560357,"sku":"9781609458386","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d78ce91d-41b5-4ec7-a8d8-a2b61a264687.jpg?v=1703106652","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/9781609458386","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
