A review by proseamongstthorns
The Search Warrant by Patrick Modiano
4.0
This novel is a thoughtful commentary on memory and victimhood. The narrators own story and family history becomes intertwined with a girl who went missing. Her uncertain fate is speculated by the narrator throughout and ultimately no answers are ever presented.
More than just a book about the Holocaust, this novel focuses on memory and identification with the victims. People disappeared during this time, with no records to suggest what happened, and it is this that the novel explores so well.
An interesting and quick read. It is a thought-provoking novel which is well-worth taking a look at.
