The lover narrate the relationship of the storyteller with a young and rich chinese ; love story who can''t survive in the society entirely based on the constrain and the taboos. The young girl come back in France and this love stay in suspend. Even if, in filligrin, reappeared the archetype of caracters of bother and of the mother, this roman is however discern like totaly new. The introduction of "I" is the revelator of that, who let eard the voice of author without assimil the roman to a pure autobiography.

Equaly, the "lover" mark a accomplishment of Duras style''s, who unit the perculiarity of all first romans to a poetic of word reduction, who have precedence until that now in the work. For finish, the "lover, this roman is considered like this who allow to understand more easily this author : Margerite Duras, is more of all the book where she talk of herself.
