The book by French writer Marguerite Duras is a jewel of wordsmanship. Not a thick 800-page tome, but a doable smaller effort. The story is set in South Vietnam, where her mother was a schoolteacher at time before the U.S. got involved. I suspect that some of it is autobiographical, but Duras long-ago denied it. The movie is available on NETFLIX...
