The Postcard by Anne Berest

The Postcard by Anne Berest

A moving novel based on the true story of a familys endurance and pain, and a heartfelt exploration of Jewish identity in a secular society

“The Postcard is a vivid indictment of France’s betrayal of the JewsAnd the truth about the postcard is an absolute heartbreaker.”

* The Sunday Times *

“The Postcard provides a vivid portrait of Vichy France as antisemitic laws tightened.”

* Financial Times *

"Delving into the past allows Anne Berest to recover part of her identity both as an individual and as one of many damaged by the horrors of persecutions that took place before they were born."

* TLS *

"The names of Ephraïm, Emma, Noémie and Jacques Rabinovitch, along with the millions of other Jews who were murdered by the Nazi regime, need to live on in our history books so that future generations never forget. Anne Berest has written a commanding piece of work, a very personal journey, with The Postcard deserving every award and piece of acclaim that it garners. Noémie Rabinovitch’s beautiful face will be forever etched in my mind."

* Swirl and Thread *

"The Postcard goes on to spin a full and textured rendering of these relatives’ lives before they were cruelly killed, rendering the horrors of the Holocaust horrifically fresh. Once the novel has covered this ground, however, it becomes almost a modern-day thriller, circling in on the mysterious mail at its center." ("The Best–and Most Anticipated–Books of 2023", VOGUE)
