When her daughters leave home to be with their father in Canada, Leda anticipates a period of loneliness and longing. Instead, slightly embarrassed by the sensation, she feels liberated, as if her life has become lighter, easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe decides to take a holiday by the sea, in a small coastal town in southern Italy. But after a few days of calm and quiet, things begin to take a menacing turn. Leda encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening. When a small, apparently meaningless, event occurs, 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 seemingly serene tale of a woman’s pleasant rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with an unsettled past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lost Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood, exploring the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18M copies of Elena Ferrante's books sold worldwide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Ferrante's novels are tactile and sensual, visceral and dizzying.' - The Guardian\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'It’s Leda’s voice that’s hypnotic, and it’s the writing that makes it that way.
