In Duras's early works, the style began to change. She no longer focuses on telling stories, but expresses subtle moods and emotions in calm and plain conversations. The sea, the heat, the bitter taste of Compari, the game of boules, thoughts solidified in the heat, and the love of many years also stopped. Should you set out on a trip to seek another scenery for your life, or should you indulge your emotions in laziness? "

"This is love. You can't get rid of it. Just like you can't get rid of life, its beauty, its ugliness and boredom."
The writing in this book is very delicate, allowing me to feel the inner world of the heroine Sara. Her vacillation in love and life is very relatable. I really like the portrayal of the characters in the book, especially Sarah, who is independent and sensitive. And I particularly disliked Sara's husband, Jacques, who was so cold to Sara during their marriage. Overall, this is a book worth reading and will make you think more about life and love.
