What starts in the beginning with an awkward tour of his home, then develops into passion feelings with Elio for Oliver and, over the course of barely 6 weeks, they have a Summer romance filled with intimacy and obsession that takes them to the edge with a final few nights in Rome before Oliver returns home to the USA.
I appreciated this story with its flowing narrative that is tender and naked yet brutal and unsparing by turn.
I borrowed a copy of this book from Taunton Library and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt 41, a sticker on the cover, for the 52 Book Club Reading Challenge 2024.
