Аннотация

A mesmerizing novel by Nobel Laureate Patrick Modiano, now superbly translated for English-language readers.

For long standing admirers of Modiano’s luminous writing as well as those readers encountering his work for the first time, will be an exciting discovery. Uniquely told by a young female narrator, is the story of a young woman adrift in Paris, imprisoned in an imperfectly remembered past. The city itself is a major character in Modiano’s work, and timeless moral ambiguities of the post-Occupation years remain hauntingly unresolved.

One day in the corridors of the metro, nineteen-year-old Thérèse glimpses a woman in a yellow coat. Could this be the mother who long ago abandoned her? Is she still alive? Desperate for answers to questions that have tormented her since childhood, Thérèse pursues the mysterious figure on a quest through the streets of Paris. In classic Modiano style, this book explores the elusive nature of memory, the unyielding power of the past, and the deep human need for identity and connection.
