Find Me

Meer over het boek

No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman's haunting Call Me by Your Name. Upon its publication in 2007, it was hailed as "a love letter, an invocation ... an exceptionally beautiful book" (Stacey D'Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review). Nearly three-quarters of a million copies have been sold in the United States, and it was made into a much-loved Academy Award-winning film starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom Elio falls in love. In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit his son, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train upends Samuel's plans and changes his life forever. Later, Elio moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic. Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our great contemporary romances to explore whether, in fact, true love lives on. -- From dust jacket
