helgamharb 's review for:
Family Record
by Patrick Modiano
4.5
I tried to fight the heaviness that pulled me backward, and dreamed of liberating myself from my poisoned memory. I would have given anything to be an amnesiac.
This autobiographical novel consists of fifteen interrelated chapters in which Modiano, expertly and with a few brushstrokes, paints his memories of the past and offers us a glimpse of the days gone by, the places long vanished and the people long deceased.
Memory itself is corroded by acid, and of all those cries of suffering and horrified faces from the past, only echoes remain, growing fainter and fainter, vague outlines.
