Description
In a Paris that blurs the boundaries between day and night, past and present, Jean B.—a filmmaker who has abandoned both his wife and his career—retreats to a hotel where memory becomes a kind of shelter and a kind of trap. As his story unfolds, it echoes the lives of Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple whose own search for safety and belonging is shadowed by loss and displacement. Woven together with Modiano’s signature atmosphere of quiet unease and reflective irony, the novel turns on the fragile, shifting nature of identity and the ways people disappear—sometimes by choice, sometimes by circumstance. With its haunting, elliptical storytelling, Honeymoon is a poignant meditation on exile, responsibility, and the thin line between forgetting and survival.
