A review by khopeisz
The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante

4.75

Ferrante is triumphantly capable of reaching into the depths of humanity, of womanhood, and extracting hidden truths and sentiments. Goldstein’s translation is immaculate as always. This is a quiet read, an exploratory character work, perhaps a bit of a suspenseful thriller? it’s a parable that teaches no lesson, a mirror like the sea, that reflects the black bile we vomit up. This one will stick with me, in my side perhaps, like a hat pin.
