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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lost Daughter is a compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood, exploring the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18M copies of Elena Ferrante's books sold worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 106g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 198 x 15 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781787704183                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elena Ferrante","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096875331834,"sku":"9781787704183","price":7.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/ae57e538918b3e4bc2766e266ef603fe.jpg?v=1640152087","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lost-daughter-1","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
