The literary bestseller from France: "A great novel that raises questions." - Le Figaro. In January 2003, Anne Berest's mother found a disturbing postcard among the New Year's wishes, containing nothing but the names of her four relatives who were murdered in Auschwitz; no sender, no signature. Anne inquires, and her mother tells her the tragic story of the Rabinowicz family. But it is only when her young daughter encounters antisemitism at school that Anne decides to truly investigate the matter. With the help of a private detective and a criminologist, she researches in every conceivable direction. The result is this exceptional novel. It not only traces the unusual path of the family but also questions whether it is possible to lead a "completely normal" life as a Jew in our time. Anne Berest delves into the fate of her own family – and achieved an award-winning literary success that remained on the French bestseller list for a long time. The touching reading is narrated by speaker Simone Kabst.
