Description
A young dancer, struggling to balance her past and present, is haunted by menacing figures from her past. Set in the world of the Paris ballet, this novel explores the themes of memory, desire, and the tension between current and vanished realities. With deceptively weightless prose, Patrick Modiano interrogates the clash of past and present selves, love, and the spectral persistence of time.
