overview
An instant number-one best-seller in France, The North China Lover both shocks and entrances its readers. Initially written as notes toward a film script for The Lover, the book has the grainy, filmic qualities of a documentary. Far more daring and truthful than any book Duras has written before, The North China Lover emphasizes the realities of her youth in Indochina and reveals much that her earlier works concealed.
