The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante
4.0
dark emotional slow-paced

Elena Ferrante is so good at perfectly capturing mundane daily life and womanly anxieties. 

Absolutely love the realistic portrayal of rage and losing yourself after something unexplainable and unfair happens. I truly felt every emotion Olga went through and could easily understand why she both thought and did some of the things she did. I highlighted so many lines!

My main takeaways are 1) fuck the husband, and 2) good for her, glad she came out stronger.
