A Lovers Discourse
A story of desire, love and language - and the meaning of home - told through conversations between two loversA Chinese woman comes to London to start a new life - away from her dead parents, away from her old world. Playing with language and the cultural differences that her narrator encounters as she settles into life in a Britain still reeling from the Brexit vote, Xiaolu Guo shows us how this couple navigate these differences, and their romance, whether on their unmoored houseboat or in a cramped and stifling flat share in east London...Suffused with a wonderful sense of humour, this intimate and tender novel asks universal questions: what is the meaning of home when we've been uprooted? She knew she would be lonely, but will her new relationship with the Australian-British-German landscape architect bring her closer to this land she has chosen, will their love give her a home?A Lover's Discourse is an exploration of romantic love told through fragments of conversations between the two lovers.
And how best to be a woman and a mother? How can a man and woman be together?
