Uniquely told by a young female narrator, \u003ci\u003eLittle Jewel\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Little Jewel | Patrick Modiano | Paperback | 9780300221824 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1737532","offer_id":50890326147330,"sku":"1737532","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71uojTQ9wSL.jpg?v=1793118122","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/little-jewel","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
