L’Amant de la Chine du Nord (The Lover from the North of China) tells the story of a passionate, fleeting romance between a young
French woman and a wealthy Chinese man in colonial Indochina. Through lyrical, introspective prose, Duras explores desire, obsession, power,
and the complexities of love across cultural and social boundaries.
