«La Cliente» is the novel by Pierre Assouline, published by Gallimard in its Folio collection in paperback format (189 pages, in French).
A biographer finds thousands of denunciation letters written during the Occupation; one of them denounces a friend of his, a merchant whose family was deported. The file reveals who the informer was, but not his motives, and exposing it would unearth a poorly buried secret. Everything happens on a street in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
The work was originally published in 1998; the edition of this ISBN is from April 2000.
For readers with a command of French who appreciate a short novel about memory, guilt, and moral dilemmas in occupied Paris.
Pierre Assouline is a French writer and journalist. He was born in Casablanca, Morocco to a Jewish family. He has published several novels and biographies, and also contributes articles for the print media and broadcasts for radio.
