An international best-seller with more than one million
copies in print and a winner of France’s Prix Goncourt,
The Lover has been acclaimed by critics all over the
world since its first publication in 1984.
Set in the
prewar Indochina of Marguerite Duras’s childhood, this is
the haunting tale of a tumultuous affair between an
adolescent French girl and her Chinese lover. In spare yet
luminous prose, Duras evokes life on the margins of Saigon
in the waning days of France’s colonial empire, and its
representation in the passionate relationship between two
unforgettable outcasts.
