&��ܴǳ�;فریاد&��ܴǳ�; added 'The Lover'

&��ܴǳ�;فریاد&��ܴǳ�; gave 5 stars to The Lover (Paperback) by Marguerite Duras
When I put down the book, I felt like I was in a haze. I felt like I was walking back home in a cold, quite night through empty streets after sitting all night with Duras in a dim cafe, listening to her speak, oh so poetically; reliving a memory so distant that she could only look back on it through a layer of fog and the dust of times past. A memory that felt more like a dream than anything else; so much so that sometimes she spoke in first person and sometimes third. She called herself The Girl �� The Child.

Fifteen and a half, she was. With her mother and two brothers in french indochina. "The beast, my mother, my love."; A troubled woman haunted by her own soul. And the older brother, the monster. The girl wishes for his death.
The girl, fifteen and a half, meets a man. A Chinese. He's twelve years older than him. He loves her. She loves his wealth. And there is no future to this love, they both know. They will never get married. The girl is white, the man is a Chinese. His dad won't allow it, and the little white girl agrees. He knows he can't keep her to himself but he loves her still.

It's a haunting narrative, truly, written in the most beautiful way. It filled my heart with so many different emotions. It was wrong and it was heartbreaking. Her life was heartbreaking. And when she writes about it, she seems distant. Like it's not her story, like she's taught herself not to feel.
It is a story of life, without fairy dust sprinkled all over it. It is the harsh truth of being, written in a way that captures your soul.

&��ܴǳ�;فریاد&��ܴǳ�; added 'Água Viva'

&��ܴǳ�;فریاد&��ܴǳ�; gave 5 stars to Água Viva (Paperback) by Clarice Lispector
Água Viva is a truly strange, poetic, and enchanting book. Or at least that's how I described it in my journal.
And even when I don't exactly grasp what she's saying, she seems to still be speaking to a part of me; something inside that I, myself, don't know, but she sees.
