Duras‘s 1943 debut, in translation for the first time, is not perfect by any means.... but I definitely saw many moments of her later brilliance (‘The Lover‘ being one of my all time favorites).....
It‘s all here.... the writing is lovely, the family is toxic, the love affair illicit, and the setting captured beautifully. So glad I had a chance to read the early work of this fabulous writer...
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity.
