Book Reviews of the The Lover
Customer Review: ummmm, what'd i miss?
Summary: 2 Stars
ok. i'm lost. i just read the book, THE LOVER, and i can't figure it out. mind you, i read a lot. at the same time i read THE LOVER i am reading pearl s. buck IMPERIAL WOMAN, and a book by barbara samuel. i am studying A COURSE IN MIRACLES and i like to study anything off the beaten track.....i read, and study, extensively. and you know what? i don't get THE LOVER. first love. ok. i had a couple of those, but i still don't relate....i am lost by the tenses...what is happening and when? then i don't understand indo-china. sorry. i don't know much more about this area of the world than what pearl is telling me in IMPERIAL WOMAN circa mid 1800's. EXLAIN PLEASE> oh, add in what i have recently researched and know about the boxing day tsumani....that is the extent of knowledge i have about this area of the world. i can't know what i haven't lived. explain it please...for example, what is the real meaning of white people in THE LOVER (rare?)? explain. what land does her mother lose and why? what is her brother, the older, all about....? the whole book i wait for clarification. i truly want to understand. so much that i ask my 16 year old daughter to read it and help me "get it"....so much that i go on amazon and read the reviews to see what other readers pulled from the book. i want to get it...what'd i miss? i spent a whole sunday afternoon on this...what was the point? i don't feel it....jf
