SYNOPSIS
A young woman moves into a Paris apartment and discovers a storage room filled with the belongings of the previous owner, a certain Madeleine who died in her late nineties, and whose treasured possessions nobody seems to want. In an audacious act of journalism driven by personal curiosity and humane tenderness, Clara Beaudoux embarks on The Madeleine Project, documenting what she finds on Twitter with text and photographs, introducing the world to an unsung 20th century figure. Along the way, she uncovers a Parisian life indelibly marked by European history. This is a graphic novel for the Twitter age, a true story that encapsulates one woman’s attempt to live a life of love and meaning together with a contemporary quest to prevent that existence from slipping into oblivion.
Through it all, The Madeleine Project movingly chronicles, and allows us to reconstruct, intimate memories of a bygone era..

I love reading these stories where past and present come together by Simeon’s memories or mementos. I think it’s a unique way to tell the story. Unfortunately I don’t have twitter But it won’t stop me from reading this boo.

I would like to add that I don’t think I’ve actually read any books with any unusual qualities. This may be a first with me 🙂

I’m not familiar with “Simeon’s memories or mementos”. Did you mean Simenon? I need to red more of his books. However, we are dealing with nonfiction here
