_helen_ 's review for:

The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante
4.5

“ I found myself alone and frightened by my own desperation.”

“ A broken clock that, because its metal heart continued to beat, was now breaking the time of everything else.”

“ What a mistake it had been to close off the meaning of my existence in the rites that Mario offered with cautious conjugal rapture.”
