The Lover by Marguerite Duras
A sensational international bestseller, and winner of Frances coveted Prix Goncourt, The Lover is an unforgettable portrayal of the incandescent relationship between two lovers, and of the hate that slowly tears the girls family apart.‘Rarely have I read a novel so flawlessly written’ Spectator
‘Very beautiful, highly intelligent, enjoyable and original.’ Sunday Times
‘Perfect, a “tour de force”…accessible in the way Thomas Mann’s “Death in Venice” or D.M. Thomas’s “The White Hotel” are accessible…dealing successfully with the strong themes of erotic love and death.’ New York Times Book Review
‘A spectacular success.’ Edmund White
