Welcome Readers!<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9 Aciman’s\u00a0Call Me by Your Name\u00a0is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks’ duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.<\/em><\/p>\n The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in Andr\u00e9 Aciman’s frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.\u00a0Call Me by Your\u00a0Name\u00a0is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.<\/em> – Farrar, Straus and Giroux<\/p>\n Looking for some other books set in the 1980s?
