The Days of Abandonment
by Elena Ferrante
"Existence is this, I thought, a start of joy, a stab of pain, an intense pleasure, veins that pulse under the skin, there is no other truth to tell".
"Days of Abandonment" was a fantastic read! Like everything else I've read by Elena Ferrante, I found it to be both brilliantly written and brutally honest. Every word felt deliberate and meaningful. There was so much to unpack in just 188 pages, and I thoroughly enjoyed analyzing it throughout my reading. I am incredibly impressed by Ferrante's ability to portray the woman scorned with all its multifaceted emotions (anger, despair, sadness, and betrayal to name a few). Her visceral writing style truly immerses readers into the deepest and darkest parts of Olga's mind. I look forward to reading the rest of Ferrante's work in 2024.
