Tres històries curtes, inconnexes, cadascuna d'una noia. Les tres tenen en comú la tristesa, la necessitat de canvi de les protagonistes, certa desorientació en el seu rumb vital, el viatge. No m'ha entusiasmat, tot i que es reconeix l'habilitat de l'autor per endinsar-se en l'aspecte psicològic de les tres noies i en la grisor del seu entorn. (

3 courtes nouvelles autour de l'histoire de 3 jeunes filles, de leurs voyages, d'un moment crucial de leur existence.
On retrouve sous les traits de ces jeunes filles, les thèmes chers à Patrick Modiano, mais sans toute la saveur qu'on lui connait. (
