Specifications
A woman, still young, calm and satisfied with her life, is anything but inactive within the safe circle of her family in their beautiful home in Turin, when she is suddenly abandoned by her husband. Olga then plunges into a dark, primal abyss.
Left alone with two children and a dog, deeply scarred by pain and humiliation, she finds herself swirling amidst the ghosts of her childhood years in Naples. From this point begins a breathtaking, destructive fall, a narrative that captivates, dragging the reader into the profound depths of female experience.
The Days of Abandonment possesses the bursts and hues of ancient tragedy, with a power that springs directly from the depths of the soul, even though it is a commonplace story, driven by the rhythm of a simple family's life.
"Ferrante dissects a 'classic' theme with extraordinarily rare insight, granting her heroine immortality... Amazing!" Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"I couldn't put it down. Elena Ferrante will captivate you..." Alice Sebold
