A review by girlincrisis
The Lover by Marguerite Duras

5.0

“…That's her kind of beauty, tattered, chilly, plaintive and in exile, nothing suits her, everything's too big, and yet it looks marvelous. Her clothes are loose, she's too thin, nothing fits, yet it looks marvelous. She's made in such a way, face and body, that anything that touches her shares immediately and infallibly in her beauty.”

so very beautifully written and thought-provoking. The descriptive language and subtle themes greatly engaged me…
