Synopsis
One day in the corridors of the Metro, 19-year-old Therse sees a woman in a yellow coat. Could this be her mother? Who called her Little Jewel? But didn't her mother die in Morocco years earlier? She follows the woman, hoping to find answers to questions that have haunted her since childhood. As Therse describes her elusive memories, travelling around Paris, she reveals how every corner of the city recalls the past.

Product Description
Little Jewel
Review
An appealing variation on the typical Modiano novel . . . well and convincingly handled by the author. M.A./i>--M.A.Orthofer "Complete Review ""
[An] intense and totally seductive novel of identity . . . Without a trace of sentimentality, Modiano creates one of the most revelatory of all his novels, one that shows the possibilities of redemption, even for those who have always been alone. Mary Whipple, Seeing the World Through Books--Mary Whipple "Seeing the World Through Books ""
A simple story . . . that grows richer with each reading. J.P./i>--J.P. Smith "The Millions ""
Patrick Modiano has never better expressed the quintessence of his art than in this somnambulistic novel. . . . Flaubert, we know, dreamed of writing a book ex nihilo, one that holds by sheer force of style, responds to the laws of pure rhetoric, can t be reduced to the author s life, and is, finally, superior. Little Jewel is Modiano s Bovary. Jerome Garcin, Le Nouvel Observateur--Jerome Garcin "Le Nouvel Observateur ""
