About this product
Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

It’s a masterpiece.
The book is a masterpiece! The language is very poetic but not heavy at all. There is a great sense of humour too. You will finish reading it and you will want to read it again and again. The author leaves many questions unanswered and it’s up to you to think of the answers. Finally, what a good translation is this! The translation does not lose any of the poetic skills of the original.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
