A novel by Patrick Modiano, one of the best novelists of modern France, winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature. In this book, his famous "handwriting" is visible: the hero, many years later, remembers individual people, meetings, everything that happened to him when he was still young and accidentally found himself in an unusual company. However, the main advantage of the novel is the author's ability to recreate that special world where time sometimes "makes a gap", slipping into which you can find yourself in Paris of the 60s of the last century, and in Paris of the XIX century.
