The Lost Daughter
by Elena Ferrante
THE LOST DAUGHTER by ELENA FERRANTE translated by ANN GOLDSTEIN
I read this yesterday and couldn’t stop once I’d started. It’s only a short book, but it is powerful.
The main character spends her summer on the coast of an Italian tourist town. Her two grown up daughters have recently moved away, and for the first time she is responsible only for herself. But in her loneliness, she spends long days people-watching the boisterous Neapolitan family on the beach. Then something happens and she becomes acquainted with the family. What follows is a lot of tension and some bloody brilliant writing.
I haven’t watched the film yet, but I knew Olivia Coleman played the main character, so I was imagining her in my head as I was reading. Hoping to watch the film tonight. Anyone else watched it or planning to?
