Well, I don't really have much to say on the work other than that that may be the finer nuances of the work were lost on me because I read its English translation.
Jordan Stump, in translator's introduction says-
Modiano is never easy to translate; the apparent simplicity and neutrality of his style conceals a wealth of subtle difficulties for the translator
I hope this is the case and do look forward to read more of his works.

Inept translated works can be a bitch , at time. The phrase "lost in translation" moves from being cheesy to utter annoyance. Oh, how I wish I was eloquent in several languages. I shall pick a Modiano soon. Thanks:)

It was really an annoyance because I was expecting more and that's when I realized too that I need to learn French :) I shall be looking forward to more of his works too!
