i wouldn’t know how to rate this book. the writing is breathtaking and i love the way duras narrates her family dynamics. the least interesting thing about it is the older lover!

Overall, I enjoyed the story being told, but the way it was written became a bit confusing to me. There were also points that I felt were not needed in relation to the bigger picture of the relationship between the girl and the man. The details about her mother and brothers were not important to understand the relationship, but I do concur it was needed to be able to assess the economic differences.
