Evocative retelling of a passionate, youthful affair.

This book isn't just a retelling; it's a deeper dive into the raw and intense emotions of the author's earlier work, "The Lover." It captures the essence of an illicit romance through the eyes of a more mature Marguerite Duras, offering a nuanced exploration of memory and desire that can resonate with anyone who's ever been haunted by a past relationship.

Description

Hailed in France as "an incomparable pleasure," Marguerite Duras's 1991 novel is a spare, beautiful retelling of the dramatic experiences of her own adolescence. More daring and truthful than any book she wrote previously -- including The Lover, it emphasizes the realities of her youth in Indochina and reveals much that her earlier works concealed.
