Reviews

As tantalising as [Modiano's] other novels ... Pedigree raises questions even as it answers them -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent * Modiano is the poet of the Occupation and a spokesman for the disappeared -- Rupert Thomson * Guardian * Patrick Mondiano has managed to create a literary legacy that is both composed and remarkable, and PEDIGREE is its magnificent, poignant emblem. -- Nathalie Crom * La Quinzaine Litteraire * A constant feeling of being in transit during a disastrous childhood and a wasted adolescence is certainly fairly common. But Modiano's strength lies in refusing to give his experience a literary slant; by not trying to explain or understand his father, or justify his mother, or even interpret his own reactions. This is what makes this book so unsettling and important. * Le Monde Des Livres * A pure original. . . .You don't read Modiano for answers. You read each Modiano novel for its place in a giant sequence: a new restatement of a single unsolvable crime -- Adam Thirlwell * Guardian *
