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, \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e is poignant, strange, delicate, melancholy, and sadly hilarious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Modiano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080328229X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803282292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.53w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/1998 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1998 pg. 134\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick Modiano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994004422911,"sku":"9780803282292","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b10b8cc0-8429-47db-9aa5-0d900af4e979.jpg?v=1683327558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-the-dark-patrick-modiano-9780803282292","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
