Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick Modiano's masterpiece- a moving memoir, a portrait of war-torn Europe and a hunt for one missing girl.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

Missing, a young girl, Dora Bruder, age 15.

One winter night in 1941, a Jewish girl runs away from her Paris boarding school. Stumbling across her disappearance listed in an old newspaper, Patrick Modiano finds himself propelled on a quest to exhume her fate.

His search will go on to last a decade. Little more will be found, just fragments of a lost family history, a sense of the dark streets of occupied Paris, Dora's name on a list of those sent to Auschwitz. And the spectre of Modiano's own troubled past, from which he can no longer look away.
