July "The Postcard" by Anne Berest

“This family saga, about a mysterious postcard received decades after WWII, plunges a daughter and her mother into the search for the truth and their roots. I have never read a book so well-written, so engaging, so poignant, so real.”— Marianne Reiner, La Playa Books, San Diego, CA

Based in Berest's real-life experience, The Postcard follows the author/narrator as she investigates the origins of an anonymous postcard and rediscovers the history of her ancestors who died in Auschwitz. The novel won the American Choix Goncourt Prize.
