<p><strong>A NEW EDITION TO TIE IN WITH THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM DIRECTED BY MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, <br><br>STARRING OLIVIA COLMAN, DAKOTA JOHNSON AND PAUL MESCAL</strong></p><p><strong>From the international bestselling author of MY BRILLIANT FRIEND</strong></p><p>Leda is devoted to her work as an English teacher and to her two children. 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.</p><p>She 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.</p><p><em>The Lost Daughter</em> is a compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood, exploring the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children.</p><p><strong>28M copies of Elena Ferrante's books sold worldwide</strong></p>
