Critics Review
This incessant quest, which Modiano might judge pointless, nevertheless produces - in the manner of Proust - one of the most obsessive and fascinating searches for lost time. - Le Nouvel Observateur
Dream-like, solemn, utterly unique and impervious to aesthetic fashions, his work defies the passage of time. - TeleramaA magnificent, haunting novel, whose spell lasts long after reading. - VogueA pure original … you don’t read Modiano for answers. You read each Modiano novel for its place in a giant sequence: a new restatement of a single unsolvable crime. - GuardianEuan Cameron’s atmospheric translation does ample justice to this spectral tale - IndependentAbout The Author
