Reviews"Full of suspense and emotion, The Postcard is a quest for origins that plunges us into the darkest hours of European history. A deeply moving book."--Leïla Slimani, author of The Perfect Nanny "The Postcard is one of the most beautiful novels I have ever read, and certainly the most beautiful I've read in recent years. It floored me, to put it mildly. I will never forget Ephraïm, Emma, Noémie, and Jacques. Universal figures, they are a part of my, of our family now."--Valérie Perrin, author of Fresh Water for Flowers "Phenomenal...powerful...brilliant."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Not only a significant contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust but a moving reflection on loss, memory, and the past, in equal measures heartwarming and heartrending. Highly recommended."--Library Journal (starred review) "Electrifying...Berest is aware that she's relating a tragedy, but her narration rejects the impulse to let her family members' stories rest at that...Acknowledging both the horrors of the Holocaust and the humanity of those it targeted, The Postcard is a commanding family memoir."--Foreword reviews (starred review) "Undeniably compelling...A testament to the power of imagination and an investigation of empathy."--Vogue, A Most Ancitipated Book of 2023 "Intimate, profound, essential."--ELLE Magazine "Based on actual events in the author's life [The Postcard] transcends the usual.
