Uniquely told by a young female narrator, Little Jewel 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. 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book. 606 $aMothers and daughters$vFiction 606 $aFrench fiction 607 $aParis (France)$vFiction 607 $aFrance$zParis$2fast 615 0$aMothers and daughters 615 0$aFrench fiction. 676 $a843/.914 700 $aModiano$b Patrick$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0439505 701 $aHueston$b Penny$01636446 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820510903321 996 $aLittle Jewel$93977730 997 $aUNINA
