The Nobel Prize for Literature

Some time back, on NPR, I heard that the Nobel Prize for Literature went to Patrick Modiano  http://www.npr.org/2014/10/09/354792697/french-novelist-patrick-modiano-wins-literature-nobel.  The story highlighted one of his books: Missing Person http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_Person_(novel).  We talked about it at our Mystery Book Club, and I suggested it for a future read.  However, when I went looking for a copy of the book, the prices were outrageous.  A member of the book club suggested Amazon, and sure enough, they were offering a copy at a reasonable price.  But they kept sending me emails regarding the fact that they could not procure a copy at the price stated.  Until recently.

Today, I have received the book.  It is a slim novel. I hope it will be an interesting read.
