'It is hard not to be impressed by Guo's vivacious talent' Sunday
Times A story of desire, love and language - and the meaning of
home - told through conversations between two lovers A Chinese
woman comes to London to start a new life, away from her old world.
She knew she would be lonely, adrift in the city, but will her new
relationship 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. Playing with language and the cultural differences
that her narrator encounters as she settles into life in a
post-Brexit Britain, Xiaolu Guo shows us how this couple navigate
these differences, and their romance, whether on their unmoored
houseboat or in a stifling flatshare in east London, or journeying
through other continents together... 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?
How can a man and woman be together? And how best to find solid
ground in a world of uncertainty?
