Out of stock

The postcard arrived in our mailbox among the traditional greeting cards. It was unsigned, the author having wished to remain anonymous. On one side was the Opera Garnier, and on the other, the first names of my mother's grandparents, her aunt and uncle, who died in Auschwitz in 1942. Twenty years later, I decided to find out who had sent us that postcard, exploring all the hypotheses open to me.
I retraced the Rabinovichs' romantic destiny, their escape from Russia, their journey to Latvia and then Palestine. And finally, their arrival in Paris, with its war and disaster.


La carte postale est arrivée dans notre boîte aux lettres au milieu des traditionnelles cartes de vœux. Elle n’était pas signée, l’auteur avait voulu rester anonyme. Il y avait l’opéra Garnier d’un côté, et de l’autre, les prénoms des grands-parents de ma mère, de sa tante et son oncle, morts à Auschwitz en 1942. Vingt ans plus tard, j’ai décidé de savoir qui nous avait envoyé cette carte postale, en explorant toutes les hypothèses qui s’ouvraient à moi.
J’ai retracé le destin romanesque des Rabinovitch, leur fuite de Russie, leur voyage en Lettonie puis en Palestine. Et enfin, leur arrivée à Paris, avec la guerre et son désastre.

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
