HOLY CRAP!!! This book was very light on "fluff", but at the same time, was so packed with emotion and tension all the way through. I couldn't put it down. The story is about an older man, an exotic location, and lots and lots of sex scenes, so could very well be a typical summer beach-read if you took away all the happy parts and added addiction, depression, and an extremely dysfunctional family. I love the main character, which is none other than the author herself, only as a 15 year old. This is an autobiographical work, which makes my respect for Duras that much more immense. I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone, but that's okay, because I'd be just as happy keeping it for myself.
Go Read!
