When a young, American professor arrives for a summer residency at his family's villa on the Italian coast, Elio, an Italian adolescent, realizes he can think of no one else. What starts as a spark of attraction grows into an obsessive romance that consumes both men during the few weeks of summer they share. Aciman masterfully captures the exhilaration of falling in love, the vulnerability of intimacy, and the heartbreak of goodbye.
