2014 Nobel Prize-winning writer

Patrick Modiano

"Awakens the memory of the most elusive of human destinies"

——The Nobel Prize Committee Award Speech

brief introduction:

The summer of that year was particularly hot. The narrator "I" and Sylvia traveled from the Marne Valley in Paris to the southern city of Nice, where they lived in a musty apartment. They firmly believe that no one will find themselves here, and they will forget everything in this strange city and start from scratch. Sylvia is wearing a precious diamond "Southern Cross". They plan to find a buyer, sell the diamond, and go away. An American Neil couple got into their "spider web". Just when the deal was about to be concluded, an accident happened... Seven years later, "I" came to Nice City again, and met an old friend of the year on the street, and the painful past came to mind.
