  <default_description>&quot;Elena Ferrante will blow you away.&quot;-Alice Sebold, author of &lt;em&gt;The Lovely Bones&lt;/em&gt;

From the author of &lt;em&gt;The Days of Abandonment&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Lost Daughter&lt;/em&gt; is Elena Ferrante's most compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood yet. Leda, a middle-aged divorc&#233;e, 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. Ferrante's language is as finely tuned and intense as ever, and she treats her theme with a fierce, candid tenacity.</default_description>

The story involves a mother of grown daughters who is dealing with her own ambivalence at what she gave up to assume that role.

Although disturbing at times it was very intriguing. She is shockingly honest which is refreshing.

    <body><![CDATA[So short that it should probably be called a novella, Lost Daughter is basically about maternal ambivalence. It is a closely observed story with a significant amount of interior dialogue. Translated from Italian, it is taut and tense.
