From the author of The Days of Abandonment comes The Lost Daughter, Elena Ferrante's most compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood yet.

Leda, a middle-aged divorcee, is alone for the first time in years when her daughters leave home to live with their father. Her initial, unexpected sense of liberty turns to ferocious introspection following a seemingly trivial occurrence. Throughout the novel, Ferrante's language is as finely tuned and intense as ever, and she treats her theme with a fierce, candid tenacity.

Cast with a suitably haughty accent and tone the actress perfectly performs the eloquent but the unsympathetic character who nonetheless to holds our attention with her accumulation of experiences, social observations and idiosyncratic choices. Feels like a cross between a short story and a novel, with a poetic structure, realism and spooky magical realism. The book explores varying experiences of motherhood within an ephemeral microcosm.

Interesting story, spooky and subversive
