The North China Lover
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 -- includingThe Lover, it emphasizes the realities of her youth in Indochina and reveals much that her earlier works concealed.--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
