Title: Moderato cantabile - Marguerite Duras - book
Summary :
"What does moderato cantabile mean?"
– I don't know. A piano lesson, a stubborn child, a loving mother, no simpler expression of the quiet life of a provincial town. But a sudden cry tears through the plot, revealing beneath the restraint of this seemingly classical tale a tension that grows in silence until the final climax.
"Still," said Anne Desbaresdes, "you could remember it once and for all. Moderato means moderate, and cantabile means melodious, it's easy."
