Description

A bestseller in Italy for almost a year, "The Days of Abandonment" shocked and captivated its public when first published - the gripping story of a woman's descent into devastating emptiness after being abandoned by her husband with two young children to care for alone. When she finds herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment, she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal.
