Pedigree by Patrick Modiano
'One of the best thrillers ever' SOPHIE HANNAH Consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton has moved to remote Shetland to be with her husband. Not for this . . But as Tora begins to ask questions around the island, she receives her first threat . .A pure original. . .You don't read Modiano for answers. You read each Modiano novel for its place in a giant sequence: a new restatement of a single unsolvable crime
-- Adam Thirlwell * Guardian *A constant feeling of being in transit during a disastrous childhood and a wasted adolescence is certainly fairly common. But Modiano's strength lies in refusing to give his experience a literary slant; by not trying to explain or understand his father, or justify his mother, or even interpret his own reactions. This is what makes this book so unsettling and important. * Le Monde Des Livres *
Patrick Mondiano has managed to create a literary legacy that is both composed and remarkable, and PEDIGREE is its magnificent, poignant emblem. -- Nathalie Crom * La Quinzaine Littéraire *
Modiano is the poet of the Occupation and a spokesman for the disappeared -- Rupert Thomson * Guardian *
As tantalising as [Modiano's] other novels ... Pedigree raises questions even as it answers them -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent *
