Years after the summer of Call Me by Your Name, Andre Aciman returns to Elio, Oliver and Samuel, each at a different point in a life still shaped by that time.
The novel is built as linked sections that change narrator and city, so the reading experience sits closer to a set of long conversations than to a single plot. Aciman writes about memory, chance meetings and unfinished attachments in the same unhurried, sensuous prose that made the first book.
What stands out:
• A continuation of the world of Call Me by Your Name, readable on its own terms
• Separate sections told by different characters across different cities
• Attention to memory, timing and the pull of things left unresolved
• Conversation-driven writing suited to readers of literary fiction
Written for readers who value lyrical, character-led novels, available in English at Boipoka.
