Description
One day in the corridors of the Metro, 19-year-old Thérèse 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 Thérèse describes her elusive memories, travelling around Paris, she reveals how every corner of the city recalls the past.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Set in the evocative backdrop of Paris, Little Jewel by Patrick Modiano draws comparisons to Flaubert's Madame Bovary, recognised for its poetic quality and poignant exploration of the past. The book delves into themes of nostalgia and identity, using the city's streets as a palimpsest of personal and collective trauma. Readers appreciate the novel as an insightful meditation on memory, easily absorbed in one sitting for its atmospheric and introspective qualities.
