The Lover by Marguerite Duras

“Very early in my life it was too late.”

Dreamlike writing but got increasingly repetitive, particularly towards the end. The story was intriguing but I wasn’t wowed by the execution. Duras has a wonderful talent for capturing love and desire with words. Despite this, the disjointed structure served only to rupture the narrative and alienate me from the story. Still a compelling read.
