Elena Ferrante

The Lost Daughter

Leda is an English teacher with two children. When her daughters leave home to join their father in Canada, she imagines that a period of loneliness will follow. Instead, Leda feels liberated and takes a holiday in a small town by the sea in Southern Italy. However, things take a dark turn after a few days of peace and quiet. Leda encounters an unsettlingly brash family, and the events that follow force her to look back on her choices as a mother and the impact they’ve had on both her and her family.

“What starts as a peaceful contemplation on motherhood quickly turns into something dark and complex. A truly strange and insightful examination of life after children move away.”
