Description
A Lover's Discourse by Xiaolu Guo is a poignant exploration of love and belonging in a new land. Set against the backdrop of post-Brexit London, this novel tells the story of a Chinese woman who finds herself isolated and lonely in a Britain increasingly hostile to foreigners. As she navigates her new life, she meets a landscape architect and begins to build a future together. Through their relationship, Guo explores the complexities of cultural differences and the power of language in bridging gaps between people. With a wonderful sense of humour, this intimate novel asks what it means to make a home and a family in a new land. Suffused with a deep understanding of the human experience, A Lover's Discourse is a thought-provoking and deeply moving read that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.
