An eerie postcard found by the narrator with only 4 names on it in the early 2000s (those of members of her family who died at Auschwitz in 1942)takes her to a family mystery by delving into the past.

Good choice for the Book Club. Tina Kover is an outstanding translator, and the story is quite good. In fact, I have listed 'The Postcard' as a competitive title in my book proposal, a story about finding eight love letters from 1926 and spending 8 years tracking down the author.
Looking forward to reading this Judy!
