An Evening with French writer & Chanel ambassador
ANNE BEREST
discussing
The Postcard 
her Gongourt Prize winning and bestselling novel,
translated from the French by Tina Kover and published by Europa Editions.

January, 2003. Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest’s maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques—all killed at Auschwitz.

Fifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why. Winner of the Choix Goncourt Prize, Anne Berest’s The Postcard is a vivid portrait of twentieth-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life, an enthralling investigation into family secrets, and poignant tale of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust and partly restored through the power of storytelling.

The author will be in conversation with Brenda Diaz De La Vega, the Senior Director of Communications and Brand Development of the Instituto Marangoni Miami.
