Book Review #98
Sundays in August
by Patrick Modiamo
This is the fourth book I've read by Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano and it's a good one, a fast read set in Nice and, like his other novels, it, too, tells an almost dream-like tale of a young man involved with a slightly older, somewhat mysterious woman and the ominous film noir types lurking in their midst. As with his other novels, this is a book where past and present meld, as the main character recalls how he met Sylvia and how they came to possess The Southern Cross, the diamond she wears around her neck, that will eventually seal their fate and leave him with only memories.
