Initially conceived as notes toward a screenplay for The Lover, this later novel, written toward the end of her life, emphasizes the tougher aspects of her youth in Indochina and possesses the intimate feel of a documentary.Both shocking and enthralling, the story Duras tells is \"so powerfully imagined (or remembered) that it . . . lingers like a strong perfume\" (Publishers Weekly). Hailed by the French critics as a return to \"the Duras of the great books and the great days,\" it is a mature and complex rendering of a formative period in the author's life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191493488928,"sku":"NEW1565840437","price":21.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/714qobyG4RL.jpg?v=1786832189","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-north-china-lover-a-novel-1565840437","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
