The North China Lover

The North China Lover

Leigh Hafrey
3.9/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Far more daring and truthful than any of her other novels, The North China Lover is a fascinating retelling of the dramatic experiences of Duras’s adolescence that shaped her most famous work. Initially conceived as notes toward a screenplay for The Lover, this later novel, written toward the end of her life, emphasizes the tougher aspects of her youth in Indochina, and possesses the feel of an intimate documentary.

Both shocking and enthralling, the story Duras tells is “so powerfully imagined that it . . . lingers like a strong perfume” . Hailed by the French critics as a return to “the Duras of the great books and the great days,” it is a mature and complex rendering of a formative period in the author’s life.
