God how much I love her. Can’t believe I enjoy this read more in French than in English.

I love Duras’ introspective writing. What I admire most is how she tells her story through her own eyes, deeply personal, yet with a sense of pudeur, shying away from expressing everything. There’s an undertone of shame, but she still remains raw. One sentence in this book can convey more than an entire novel.

Obviously not the easiest book to read in French but I love the way she expresses herself

Picked a pretty challenging book for my French final—wish me luck.
