She knew she would be lonely, adrift in the city, but will her new relationship bring her closer to this land she has chosen, and will their love give her a home? A Lover's Discourse is a love story told through fragments of conversations between the two lovers. Playing with language and the cultural differences that her narrator encounters as she settles into post-Brexit Britain, Xiaolu Guo shows us how this couple navigate communication and their romance, whether on their unmoored houseboat or in a cramped and stifling apartment in east London. Suffused with a wonderful sense of humor, this intimate and tender novel asks what it means to make a home and a life in a new land"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Single women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interracial dating $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022535.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210602011552.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210105034624.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201121010027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FE279A82BC711EBA3EFBDE54DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
