A young woman, working as a childminder for a living, takes her
charge out to play in a Parisian garden square. Sitting on a bench,
she starts talking to a stranger, a travelling salesman, and their
conversation gradually turns into an exchange of confidences, as
she speaks of her desire for a more stable future and he of his
feelings of rootlessness and disillusionment. As the afternoon
wears on, the two sense an increasing connection between them.
Understated and impressionistic, and consisting almost entirely of
dialogue, The Garden Square is one of Marguerite Duras's finest
novels, which she also adapted to the stage.
