The letter is addressed to Marie's first great love, a much older teacher who she describes as a great dinosaur. In this gripping novel by Florence Noiville, we follow Anna as she tries to unravel the mystery of her mother's past. She takes her questions to her family and to her mother's friends: Did Marie send the letter? Was it received? Who was this man? Is he still alive? In a desperate search, she tries to piece together the clues. Attachment explores love and its obsession, observing both mother and daughter under its magnifying glass. Readers ultimately find Anna and Marie both seeking answers to the same question: What is there inside us that makes us become so attached to someone we never should have approached? The novel also questions the connection between love and writing, the tales that love inspires and the way in which we construct and own the story of our lives."--Book jacket. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Attachment behavior $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Fagan, Teresa Lavender, $e translator. 830 0 $a French list. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180109023110.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826111521.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=520EA1DC3A6E11E5A08F40DADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
