A review by philosopiscis
Catherine Certitude by Patrick Modiano

4.0

"Sometimes Papa would say, "Come here, Catherine," and I would join him on the scale. We would stand there, the two of us, Papa's hand on my shoulders, without moving. We looked as if we were posing for a photograph. I took off my glasses, and Papa took off his. Everything around us became soft and fuzzy. Time stopped. We felt fine."

Patrick Modiano and his hazy writing once again astonish me. The nostalgia, the regret and those uncertain relationships. Wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket, this book opening on your knees and daydreaming about Paris - I can not think of a better day to waste.
