Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Op\u00e9ra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest\u2019s maternal great-grandparents, Ephra\u00efm and Emma, and their children, No\u00e9mie and Jacques\u2014all killed at Auschwitz.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen 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 of a family devastated by the Holocaust and partly restored through the power of storytelling that shatters long-held certainties about Anne\u2019s family, her country, and herself.<\/p>\n<p>Tina Kover&#8217;s translations for Europa Editions include Antoine Compagnon&#8217;s A Summer with Montaigne and N\u00e9gar Djavadi&#8217;s Disoriental, winner of the Albertine Prize and the Lambda Literary Award, and a finalist for both the 2020 National Book Award for Translated Literature and the PEN Translation Prize.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Postcard<\/em>\u00a0will be released in the United States in May, 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find more information\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europaeditions.com\/book\/9781609458386\/the-postcard\">here<\/a><\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":60261,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[213],"app_city_tax":[226],"app_event_type":[241],"class_list":["post-60263","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-literature","app_city_tax-dc","app_event_type-talk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Discussion with Author Anne Berest - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/events\/anne-berest-washington-dc-postcard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Discussion with Author Anne Berest - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Solid State Books, Villa Albertine &amp; Europa Editions invite you to an evening of conversation with author Anne Berest &amp; her publisher Michael Reynolds.
