“It has taken more than 40 years for this small masterpiece by the Nobel prize-winner to find its English translation from the original French. The wait has been worthwhile. . . This great novel is infused with nostalgia for a lost time, place and people so intimately described that Victor’s memories begin to feel like our own.” –Guardian
“A French Nobel laureate's beguiling 1975 novel about an elusive young man's memory of love and friendship. . . Beautifully translated by John Cullen, this novel does not dip into that “life-world” of the French Occupation, but it does bear out the rest of the Nobel citation in being a seductive and at times poignant exploration of memory.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“Like all of Modiano’s novels, this is a brilliant evocation of guilt and memory.” –Catholic Herald
"Adding more color to Modiano’s exquisite palette; highly recommended." —Library Journal Starred Review
"Nobel Prize-winning French writer Modiano develops his now-trademark demimonde of secrets kept and personae doffed and donned . . . A brilliant evocation of place, memory, and loss, shot through with an aching nostalgia." —Kirkus Reviews
“Beautifully translated by Cullen, [Villa Triste] is more substantial and satisfying than much of what has appeared thus far from Nobel laureate Modiano."—Booklist

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the outbreak of the Algerian war, a young man who calls himself Victor Chmara flees Paris for a small lakeside town on the border of France and Switzerland.It's here that he meets the flamboyant doctor Rene Meinthe and the beautiful and mysterious auburn-haired Yvonne. Victor quickly embraces their world of local pageants, soirees and late-night debauchery, and begins to settle into an endless summer with Yvonne. Together they enjoy long lazy days on the beach, Campari and soda before dinner, and the cable car home over the dark lake.But Rene and Yvonne's lives are also full of unanswered questions and half-truths. As he looks back years later, Victor remains beguiled and mystified by those lost, unknowable friends, and the half-forgotten, enchanted place he chose to leave behind.One of Modiano's most elegiac and haunting novels, Villa Triste is an intoxicating investigation into time, place, identity, and memory. One of the most seductive and accessible novels by the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
