'A fascinating account of Françoise Sagan's youth' Stylist
'Bold and accomplished' Livres Hebdo
'A unique and inspiring book, recommended for readers attracted to
French novels and novelists, literary memoir, and for anyone who
may simply want to see a good example of superlative writing'
Portland Book Review 'A clearly carefully researched account that
does offer the salient facts, in more engaging and memorable ways
than a straightforward factual account likely could' The Complete
Review 'Berest portrays Sagan as the literary Brigitte Bardot, an
author who introduced a generation of women to eroticism and
empowered them to take control of their bodies without fearing
punishment from God or man' The Times 'A portrait of French society
in the 1950s, a delightful escapade, a hymn to friendship, a token
of pure generosity' Le journal du dimanche
Praise for The Postcard'An intimate and profound story'
Elle'Undeniably compelling' Vogue'In Berest’s phenomenal
English-language debut novel the author pieces together stories of
her ancestors who were lost at Auschwitz . . . With bracing prose,
smoothly translated by Kover, Berest takes an unflinching look at
antisemitism past and present . . . This is brilliant' Publishers
Weekly (starred review) 'The story overall is poignant, tense,
restless, and ultimately pivotal, as Anne not only solves her
mystery, but, more importantly, gains her identity. The anguish and
horror of genocide arrive with fresh impact in an absorbing
personal account' Kirkus Reviews
'A passionate and moving story, a reflection on the pain of
survivors, Jewishness, and the mysteries of love' Les
Echos
