Phenomenal prose.....highly recommended...
I absolutely love this book! In fact, I read it in just two sittings and simply could not put it down. Andre Aciman's writing is so unlike anything I've read - beautiful, touching, wrought with the gamut of human emotion, intensely powerful yet subtle....overall just superb.
This novel, and the raw emotion Elio expresses about Oliver is so relatable, so brutally true and honest, that I can't imagine any reader not being able to relate on some level. That throughout so much of the novel, he doesn't know if his feelings are mutual adds so much to the overall experience of the book and its relatability. What a tremendous accomplishment - a rare gem of a novel.
I cant offer up enough praise for this book and how masterfully it is written. I highly recommend it to all readers and look forward to reading more of Aciman's works.
