The author’s investigation of her family’s history and her own identity was sparked by the arrival of an anonymous postcard bearing four names that arrived over forty years after those four people had died at Auschwitz. Compelling, moving, intimate and questioning, this fine novel has been gathering praise and prizes, including the first Prix Goncourt (US). Translated from the French.
