About this book
A writers notebook becomes the key that unlocks memories of a love formed and lost in 1960s Paris. In the aftermath of Algerias war of independence Paris was a city rife with suspicion and barely suppressed violence. Amid this tension Jean a young writer adrift met and fell for Dannie an enigmatic woman fleeing a troubled past. A half century later with his old black notebook as a guide he retraces this fateful period in his life recounting how through Dannie he became mixed up with a group of unsavory characters connected by a shadowy crime. Soon Jean too was a person of interest to the detective pursuing their case--a detective who would prove instrumental in revealing Dannies darkest secret. The Black Notebook bears all the hallmarks of this Nobel Prize&;winning literary masters unsettling and intensely atmospheric style rendered in English by acclaimed translator Mark Polizzotti (Suspended Sentences). Once again Modiano invites us into his unique world a Paris infused with melancholy uncertain danger and the fading echoes of lost love.
