Un libro inolvidable que te atrapa desde la primera pagina". -David Foenkinos Fue en enero de 2003. En el buzon de la casa familiar, entre las tarjetas de felicitacion habituales, aparecio una extrana postal sin firma. En el anverso, la Opera Garnier, y en el reverso, cuatro nombres propios: los de los bisabuelos maternos de Anne Berest -Ephraim y Emma-, y los hijos de estos -Noemie y Jacques-, todos ellos fallecidos en Auschwitz en 1942. ?Quien envio la tarjeta y con que siniestra intencion? Veinte anos despues, la autora decide averiguarlo y remontarse cien anos atras para descubrir el destino de los Rabinovitch: su huida de Rusia, su viaje a Letonia, Palestina y Paris, y luego la guerra. Una investigacion exhaustiva y apasionante, para la cual cuenta con la ayuda de su madre, de un detective privado y de un grafologo, y que la llevara a interrogar a los habitantes del pueblo donde sus parientes fueron detenidos, a buscar indicios en los libros y a ahondar en la vida de la unica superviviente: su abuela Myriam. Anne Berest reconstruye el periplo vital de su familia en esta novela sobrecogedora y trata de dar respuesta a una pregunta eterna y universal: ?que significa ser judio?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNamed a Most Anticipated Book by the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Bustle, Book Riot, VogueNamed a May ABA Indie Next PickAWARDED WITH THE PRIX RENAUDOT DES LYCEENS, THE FIRST ANNUAL CHOIX GONCOURT UNITED STATES (US GONCOURT PRIZE SELECTION), AND WITH THE ELLE READERS' GRAND PRIZE, WITH MORE THAN 150,000 COPIES SOLD IN FRANCE. A critically acclaimed novel about a fascinating family investigation: a true story thriller marked by The Shoah and loved by its readers. "A masterpiece. An unforgettable book that captivates you from the first page." -David Foenkinos It was January 2003. In the mailbox of the family home, among the usual greeting cards, a strange postcard appeared without a signature. On the front, the Opera Garnier, and on the back, four names: those of Anne Berest's great-grandparents on her mother's side -Ephraim and Emma- and their children -Noemie and Jacques-, all of whom died in Auschwitz in 1942. Who sent the postcard? With what sinister motive? Twenty years later, the author decides to find out the answers and discovers the fate of the Rabinovitch a hundred years ago: their escape from Russia, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris... and the war. An exhaustive and exciting investigation that led her to question the people of the town where her relatives were arrested. But she is not alone searching back to the past: Anne has the help of her mother, a private detective, and a graphologist. Alongside them, she will look for clues in books while delving into the life of the only survivor in her family: her grandmother Myriam. Anne Berest reconstructs the life journey of her family in this overwhelming novel, while trying to answer an eternal and universal question: What does it mean to be Jewish?
