Book Overview
The narrator of Villa Triste, an anxious, roving, stateless young man of eighteen, arrives in a small French lakeside town near Switzerland in the early 1960s. The young man hides among the other summer visitors until he meets a beautiful young actress named Yvonne Jacquet, and a strange doctor, Ren Meinthe. These two invite him into their world of soirees and late-night debauchery. But when real life beckons once again, he finds no sympathy from his new companions. Modiano has written a haunting novel that captures lost youth and the search for identity.

I really wanted to like it . . .
Published by Faberge , 5 years ago
I have been to Triste, was familiar with this author and really wanted to like this book but for me it was just silly people, saying and doing silly things for silly reasons.
