This has been one of my favorite read of 2023. Based on an event that happened to the author’s mother, a woman receives a post card with the names of three of her relatives who were killed during the Holocaust sixty years earlier. Together with her daughter (Berest), the two women try to solve the mystery of who sent it. Suspenseful right up until the last page.
