› Find signed collectible books: 'Catherine Certitude'Book summary:This charming book will delight any child or adult who appreciates ballet, Paris, New York, childhood, and mystery (not necessarily in that order). The book's plot is deceptively simple: Catherine, the eponymous heroine, begins her story watching her own daughter demonstrate jazz steps in their ballet school on a snowy afternoon in New York. Memory takes her (and the reader) back to her childhood, spent in the tenth arrondissement of Paris. In her youth, Catherine lives with her gentle father, Georges Certitude, who runs a shipping business with his partner, a loud, failed poet named Casterade. The real partners in this story, however, are the father and daughter who share the simple pleasures of daily life: sitting in the church square, walking to school, going to her ballet class every Thursday afternoon.
Behind this gossamer storyline, Catherine Certitude is filled with mystery. Why did Georges change his name to Certitude? What kind of trouble with the law did Casterade rescue him from? Exactly what does Georges do, and what kind of deals is he always discussing with men in worn raincoats? Why did Catherine's mother, herself a ballerina, leave Georges to return to New York? That these mysteries remain mysteries is part of the book's charm. But that Catherine and her father love the ballet, music, and City of Lights, is certain. [via]More editions of Catherine Certitude:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dora Bruder'Book summary:In 1988, French novelist Patrick Modiano happened upon a notice in a 1941 Paris newspaper placed by the parents of a 15-year-old Jewish girl, Dora Bruder, who had disappeared from the Catholic boarding school where she was being hidden. The notice stuck in Modiano's memory, and it launched him on a quest for information about the girl's life that resulted in Dora Bruder. Modiano's lengthy investigation turned up only tiny scraps of information about Dora--but every scrap made the mystery of her disappearance more haunting. Most strikingly, Modiano found her name on a list of Jews deported from Paris to Auschwitz in 1942. "It takes time for what has been erased to resurface," Modiano explains. "It took me four years to discover her exact date of birth: 25 February 1926. And a further two years to find out her place of birth: Paris, 12th arondissement. But I am a patient man. I can wait for hours in the rain." Eventually Modiano's search forces him to come to terms with his own difficult adolescence. Yet this book defies categorization in both history and memoir. It is something more complex, and harder--a poetic acknowledgment and a philosophical refutation of common and terrifying human fates: being isolated, forgotten, and lost. --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Out of the Dark'Book summary:Patrick Modiano, the author of more than twenty books, is one of Frances most admired contemporary novelists. Out of the Dark is a moody, expertly rendered tale of a love affair between two drifters.[via]The narrator, writing in 1995, looks back thirty years to a time when, having abandoned his studies and selling off old art books to get by, he comes to know Gérard Van Bever and Jacqueline, a young, enigmatic couple who seem to live off roulette winnings. He falls in love with Jacqueline; they run off to England together, where they share a few sad, aimless months, until one day she disappears. Fifteen years later, in Paris, they meet again, a reunion that only recalls the haunting inaccessibility of the past: they spend a few hours together, and the next day, Jacqueline, now married, disappears once again. Almost fifteen years after that, he sees her yet again, this time from a distance he chooses not to bridge. A profoundly affecting novel, Out of the Dark is poignant, strange, delicate, melancholy, and sadly hilarious.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Villa Triste'Book summary:208pages. poche. Poche. Quand ils passaient la nuit à la Villa triste, Yvonne et Victor s'efforçaient de ne pas remuer du tout. Mais on sent bien que la sérénité n'était qu'un leurre. Des années après, le narrateur retourne dans la ville d'eaux et invoque, par intermittence, le souvenir nostalgique et lucide de sa relation avec Yvonne, des gens qui gravitaient autour d'eux, des extravagances de Meinthe, fantôme qui nous guide dans les rues aujourd'hui endormies. Mais ce qui ressurgit avant tout, c'est l'angoisse inexplicable de Victor, qu'il avait espéré apaiser en séjournant dans cette station thermale reculée, à proximité de la Suisse. Modiano s'appuie sur une langue fluide parsemée de petites formules moqueuses pour donner un tour grave et, malgré tout, léger à son roman. Grâce à cet équilibre habile, il esquisse les contours d'un homme en quête de repères pour supporter sa mémoire, tout comme il était, jeune, en quête d'immobilité et de racines. Et si les estivants de l'époque, ridicules et artificiels, ne sont pas tout à fait détestables, peut-être est-ce parce que le mystère qui plane donne un caractère intangible à cet été lointain. -Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]
