“Deceptively simple and Racinian in its purity, condensed to the essential. ”—Translation Review
Praise for Marguerite Duras’s international bestseller, The Lover
“Powerful, authentic, completely successful … perfect. ”—The New York Times Book Review
“An exquisite jewel of a novel, as multifaceted as a diamond, as seamless and polished as a pearl. ”—Boston Herald
“A vivid, lingering novel … a brilliant work of art. ”—Cleveland Plain Dealer
