Inte min favorit av Duras. Kanske kan läsa om den i framtiden och förstå något som nu gick mig förbi

Beware novels with all characters unnamed. You may be in for an opacity-fest like this. Possibly related to Lol V. Stein, but not in any important way. Definitely they share a setting, probably share the characters, but the style, mood, and actions (little of the latter) are completely different, and inferior. Not recommended.

I received this book as a goodreads giveaway some time ago. I thought the plot was refreshing. The author did not weigh it down with useless information and the character development was illustrated through imagery instead of long descriptions. However, I found that sometimes the wording was too sparse and I was confused about what exactly was happening. In a way it felt like a dream where you can't explain everything that's happening and not all the information is there. Overall the book was very whimsical and entrancing, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.
