Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante

Phoebe Ward

“About a housewife who slowly goes insane after her husband leaves her and her two kids for a 15 year old. Obviously an uplifting, joyful work! Obviously a fun, light beach read that goes down easy no problem! Just kidding, this book makes me feel sick and weak!”

Katy Skelton

“I liked this even more than the Neapolitan novels. It’s a dark and deeply feeling read. Devastating and precise, Ferrante is at her best when writing about grief.”
