Summary: Not that great
Review: In the opening chapters of this book, I expected a real murder mystery type novel but was soon disappointed which is why I think I didn't like this book that much. However, I think that if I didn't have that expectation I would have liked it a lot more. Maybe if I let it sit for a few years and then read it again, I'll enjoy it more the second time around.

Summary: Another good book by Duras about an alcoholic in a café
Review: Similar in some ways to "10:30 on a Summer Night," this book is about an alcoholic woman taking her son to piano lessons and on the way home she develops an odd relationship with a stranger in a café where a man has just killed his lover. As with many of Duras' books, one shouldn't expect to the affair to culminate in physical love or if it does, it probably won't be particulary pleasant or satisfying. For those looking for a realistic story where things don't necessarily go right, I recommend this book along with "10:30 on a Summer Night," also written by Duras.
