About The Postcard

(Europa Editions, 2023, written by Anne Berest, translated by Tina Kover)

Anne Berest’s luminous, moving, and unforgettable new book The Postcard is the most acclaimed and beloved French novel in recent years.

At once a gripping investigation into family secrets, a poignant tale of mothers and daughters, and an enthralling portrait of 20th-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life, The Postcard tells the story of a family devastated by the Holocaust and yet somehow restored by love and the power of storytelling. Heartbreaking, funny, atmospheric, and a sheer joy to read, The Postcard is certain to find fans among readers of Irène Némirovsky’s Suite Française, Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, and Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See.

The Postcard will be released in the United States in May, 2023.
