Sinossi
Leda è un'insegnante, divorziata da tempo, tutta dedita alle figlie e al lavoro. Ma le due ragazze partono per raggiungere il padre in Canada. Ci si aspetterebbe un dolore, un periodo di malinconia. Invece la donna, con imbarazzo, si sente come liberata e la vita le diventa più leggera. Decide di prendersi una vacanza al mare in un paesino del sud. Ma, dopo i primi giorni quieti e concentrati, l'incontro con alcuni personaggi di una famiglia poco rassicurante scatena una serie di eventi allarmanti. Pagina dopo pagina la trama di una piacevole riconquista di sé si logora e Leda compie un piccolo gesto opaco, ai suoi stessi occhi privo di senso, che la trascinerà verso il fondo buio della sua esperienza di madre.

this little book is really all the proof needed to put those ‘elena ferrante is really a man’ conspiracy theories to rest. simply no man could understand the restrictions of femininity or communicate the experience of motherhood/daughterhood like this!
After four read books, I can conclude that I experience an unconditional devotion to Ferrante's novels and emphatically place her amongst my favorite authors. I simply admire the frankness and the brutality of her thoughts and celebrate eagerly the woman's manifest in each sentence. Ferrante's strug Leggi tutto
It’s been awhile since I read - and ‘obsessively’ enjoyed Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan series. ( especially loved book 2 and 3)..... I went into this book completely blind!! It’s a ‘thin-slim’......’thick-thought’-provoking novella. I was immediately pulled in from the ‘get-go’ with these words: “When Leggi tutto
I loved this short novel from the ever incredible Elena Ferrante. The twisted story of the protagonist who steals a doll on a beach is both captivating and heartbreaking. In typical Ferrante fashion, the narration wanders between the primary narrative of the protagonist's seaside vacation and her me Leggi tutto
Full disclosure: I know next to nothing about being a parent, unless you count taking care of a cat. And honestly I'm not even very good at that. I've always been the gay Uncle (or "Guncle" as a recent popular novel coins it) who gets to do all the "cool" stuff like playing fun games, taking them to Leggi tutto
