The Days Of Abandonment
The Days Of Abandonment
From the New York Times-bestselling author of My Brilliant Friend, this novel of a deserted wife's descent into despair--and rage--is "a masterpiece" (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The Days of Abandonment is the gripping story of an Italian woman's experiences after being suddenly left by her husband after fifteen years of marriage. With two young children to care for, Olga finds it more and more difficult to do the things she used to: keep a spotless house, cook meals with creativity and passion, refrain from using obscenities. After running into her husband with his much-younger new lover in public, she cannot even refrain from assaulting him physically. In a "raging, torrential voice" (The New York Times), Olga conveys her journey from denial to devastating emptiness--and when she finds herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment, she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal. "Intelligent and darkly comic." --Publishers Weekly "Remarkable, lucid, austerely honest." --The New Yorker

From the New York
Times-bestselling author of My Brilliant Friend, this novel of a deserted
wife's descent into despair--and rage--is "a masterpiece" (The
Philadelphia Inquirer).
The Days of Abandonment is the gripping story of
an Italian woman's experiences after being suddenly left by her husband after
fifteen years of marriage. With two young children to care for, Olga finds it
more and more difficult to do the things she used to: keep a spotless house,
cook meals with creativity and passion, refrain from using obscenities. After
running into her husband with his much-younger new lover in public, she cannot
even refrain from assaulting him physically.
In a "raging, torrential voice" (The New York Times), Olga
conveys her journey from denial to devastating emptiness--and when she finds
herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment,
she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity,
and the possibility that life may never return to normal.
