THE BELOVED COMING-OF-AGE CLASSIC, NOW A WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER

During a restless summer on the Italian Riviera, a powerful romance blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest, Oliver. Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them.

What grows from the depths of their souls is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration, and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.
Rediscover one of the great love stories of our time.

    Cried like a baby. Beautiful.

    There are no words that could describe how strong impact had this book had on me. I could share a thousand though about it and yet my brain doesn't exist now after I've just finished reading. Not only is that amazing coming of age story. It shows many levels of life after what we call youth. Emotional. Nostalgic, yet breathtaking by its sensuality. Beautiful in its simplicity. Providing out-of-body experience and big journey into our hearts and souls. Magnificent and admirable. Words cannot describe its greatness. And despite the hideous amounts of tears reading that book cost me, I'd hardly recommend it to everyone. This book made me feel things I had know idea about, made me realize that the struggle with emotions is what everyone is dealing with at least once in a lifetime and that should we not close to our feelings, should we not shut them down because one day we might wake up in empty bed and realize that everything we love and care about belongs to the past and the time wasted could not be re-used.

    Прорыдала весь финал — хорошо, что его в фильм не включили, иначе кинозалы утопали бы в слезах

Quotes

  • A Rhas quoted7 years ago
    Just be quiet, say nothing, and if you can’t say “yes,” don’t say “no,” say “later.” Is this why people say “maybe” when they mean “yes,” but hope you’ll think it’s “no” when all they really mean is, Please, just ask me once more, and once more after that?

    as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze, and call me by your name.
