PREMIO RENAUDOT DES LYCÉENS, PREMIO SELECCIÓN GONCOURT DE ESTADOS UNIDOS Y GRAN PREMIO DE NOVELA DE LAS LECTORAS DE ELLE, CON MÁS DE 150.000 EJEMPLARES VENDIDOS EN FRANCIA

Una novela aclamada por la crítica y los lectores en torno a una investigación familiar apasionante: una historia real marcada por la Shoah que se lee como un thriller

«Una obra maestra. Un libro inolvidable que te atrapa desde la primera página». –David Foenkinos

Fue en enero de 2003. En el buzón de la casa familiar, entre las tarjetas de felicitación habituales, apareció una extraña postal sin firma. En el anverso, la Ópera Garnier, y en el reverso, cuatro nombres propios: los de los bisabuelos maternos de Anne Berest —Ephraïm y Emma—, y los hijos de estos —Noémie y Jacques—, todos ellos fallecidos en Auschwitz en 1942. ¿Quién envió la tarjeta y con qué siniestra intención? Veinte años después, la autora decide averiguarlo y remontarse cien años atrás para descubrir el destino de los Rabinovitch: su huida de Rusia, su viaje a Letonia, Palestina y París, y luego la guerra. Una investigación exhaustiva y apasionante, para la cual cuenta con la ayuda de su madre, de un detective privado y de un grafólogo, y que la llevará 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 única 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: ¿qué significa ser judío?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Named a Most Anticipated Book by the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Bustle, Book Riot, Vogue

Named a May ABA Indie Next Pick

Dayton Literary Peace Runner-up on Fiction 2024


AWARDED WITH THE PRIX RENAUDOT DES LYCÉENS, 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 —Ephraïm and Emma— and their children —Noémie 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?
