carlacanning 's review for:

The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante
3.0

I feel like I wasn't in the right headspace to read this book. I did not have a good time reading it but am still glad I did? The more I think about it the more I understand and appreciate the story but while I was reading I was mostly focused on how terrible each of the characters was. I think Elena Ferrante is just brutal in her portrayal of humanity. And I mean, she's right, but it still makes me sad. Talk to me in a few months when I reread it
