The Lost Daughter

Mother's unsettling journey, confronts past choices.

If you've ever felt the push and pull of motherhood and self, "The Lost Daughter" might resonate with you deeply. Elena Ferrante masterfully taps into the complex emotions of being a parent and an individual, blending the beauty and heat of the Italian coast with the chilling undercurrents of past decisions. It's the kind of book that invites introspection, especially about the roads we take in life and their lasting impacts.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

When my daughters moved to Toronto, where their father had lived and worked for years, I was embarrassed and amazed to discover that I wasn't upset; rather, I felt light, as only then had I definitely brought them into the world. Leda is a middle-aged, divorced mother devoted to her work as an English professor. After the departure of her grown-up daughters, she takes a holiday on the Italian coast. But after a few days things become unsettling; on the beach she encounters a family whose brash behaviour proves menacing. Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family. The tale of a woman’s rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with the past. The Lost Daughter is a profound exploration of the conflicting emotions that tie women to their children.
