Be careful when you download that PDF. You are looking for The Lover , but you will find something else. The famous opening line of the 1984 novel— "One day, I was already old..." —is a lie of beautiful distance. The North China Lover has no distance. It is the younger sister of the text, less wise, less elegant, but bleeding on the page. L-amant De La Chine Du Nord Marguerite Duras.pdf
