The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante
4.0

a female rage novel written before ‘female rage novels’ were such a trend. this story follows olga, a woman in her late thirties who descends into emptiness and despair when her husband suddenly leaves her (and the 2 children) for another woman. i’ve said this before but truly no one writes about motherhood / womanhood with the precision and vicious candour as ferrante.
