A "beautifully written" dark fable from a doll's point of view-by the
New York Times-bestselling author of
The Lost Daughter and the Neapolitan Novels (
The Washington Post).
One of NPR's Best Books of the Year.
Readers of Elena Ferrante's
The Lost Daughter may recall the little doll-lost or stolen-around which that novel revolves. Here, Ferrante retells the tale from the doll's perspective.
Celina is having a terrible night, one full of jealousy for the new kitten, Minù; feelings of abandonment and sadness; misadventures at the hands of the beach attendant; and dark dreams. But she will be happily found by Mati, her child, once the sun rises...
"Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it." -
The Boston Globe
