biblioash01 's review for:
The Days of Abandonment
by Elena Ferrante
"I am not capable of replacements."
I found Elena Ferrante through The Neapolitan Novels, the four-part story of two girls, their friendship, and their lives. Here comes another brilliant writing about a woman who feels abandoned not just by her husband but by her own self.
This novel is about Olga's state of mind when the person she spent her 15 years, had 2 children with and a stable family leaves her stranded. Reading Olga's cycle of distress and breakdowns with the journey towards finding her 'self' has left me shattered.
Ferrante's world is not for everyone. But it surely is home to those who can tap into the melody.
