The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante

4.0

I love this quote from Maggie Gyllenhaal, who adapted this to film, on her reaction to the book:
“I thought, ‘Oh my god this woman is so fucked up,’” ... “Then a millisecond later I thought, ‘Oh no, I really relate to her, does that make me fucked up?’ Then I realised that many people have this experience and nobody talks about it. These are secret truths about a feminine experience.”
