Shadowed by the dark period of the Nazi Occupation, these novellas reveal Modiano`s fascination with the lost, obscure, or mysterious: a young person`s confusion over adult behavior; the repercussions of a chance encounter; the search for a missing father; the aftershock of a fatal affair. To read Modiano`s trilogy is to enter his world of uncertainties & the almost accidental way in which people find their fates. ...
