Writer pieces together the story of a Jewish girl who goes missing in wartime Paris, throwing light on a dark period but it is the precarious nature of people's lives - how they slip beyond memory, and how they are lived n equally changing Quartiers and buildings of Paris = which registers. Nobel prize winning author who reminds me of W G Sebald. Highly recommended.
