Succeed2gether's Montclair Literary Festival and FIAF (French Institute Alliance Française), in partnership with Montclair Public Library, Villa Albertine, and Watchung Booksellers, welcomes best-selling author Anne Berest to celebrate the English-language publication of her award-winning novel, The Postcard (Europa, 2023, translated by Tina Kover). Anne will be in conversation with renowned books editor Kate Tuttle.

Luminous and gripping to the very last page, The Postcard is an enthralling investigation into family secrets, a poignant tale of mothers and daughters, and a vivid portrait of 20th-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life.

The conversation will be followed by a Q&A and book signing with the author.
