thechanelmuse's review against another edition

"Solitude: it's become my trade. As it requires a certain discipline, it's a condition I try to perfect. And yet it plagues me, it weighs on me in spite of my knowing it so well."
Originally written in Italian (Dove mi trovo), Whereabouts is a lyrical and meditative prose with 46 interconnected chapters (short vignettes) about a woman's quiet life, mundane routine, and her observation of life around her. It's written so beautifully you wish this novella was a little longer.

I’d like to read this again. I feel like there’s a deeper meaning that maybe I haven’t quite grasped yet. I loved the way this was written, and how much exploration existed in a space with not a lot of detail. I felt as if I knew the narrator without ever knowing her. A beautifully done piece.

Beautiful vignettes. I love when a book can reel me in with its rich scenes even if the narrative is blurry.

Non so come spiegarlo ma questo romanzo ha un'atmosfera estiva come il film "aftersun"; malinconica e nostalgica... La nostra narratrice parla di tutto e di niente, mentre noi la accompagniamo nella sua solitudine. Mi ha piaciuto molto e sono contenta d'avere potuto leggerlo nella sua lingua originale: italiano
