4.0

L'enquête menée par Anne Berest sur sa famille assassinée à Auschwitz m'a passionnée de bout en bout. L'identité de la personne ayant écrit la carte postale n'est révélée que dans les toutes dernières pages, apportant une conclusion sobre et très émouvante. 
Le texte n'est pas toujours bien écrit (et les fautes de grammaire m'ont agacée...). La mise en roman est un peu inégale, certaines conversations sont peu crédibles, tant par leur contenu que par la langue employée. Mais cela n'enlève que très peu à la qualité globale du récit ni à son impact.
