Question: Looking for a novel but can't remember the name!?
Ok, I've read a short novel about 6 years ago and I would really want to read it again !.!.!. but I remember neither name nor author!.
It's a German or French writer, somebody from classics!. The novel is in a form of an anonymous letter from a woman to a man!. In the letter she tells her life story and how she's was in love with him all her life!. She starts from age 13 and they used to live near each other (he was older than her) and how she used to spy on him and his women!. And later in life they met and even were intimate but he never knew her name!. He sort of never noticed her though they met a bunch of times!.
Something like this!.!.!. can't remember how it ended!.
If this sounds familiar, even a little, please let me know who the author is and what is the name of this novel!.
Thanks in advance! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
