An IndiBound best seller, The Days of Abandonment shocked and captivated its Italian public when first published. It is the gripping story of a woman's descent into devastating emptiness after being abandoned by her husband, with two young children to care for. 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.

Writing was concise but it seemed to really drag on too long. Story was too predictable but accurate in how someone feels that’s been betrayed.

Almost gave up.

Usually I read my books but being in LA I spent so much time on the road and thought that might be a way to make it easier. It turned out to be immersing experience and I followed up with another book by the same author and not less important read by the same narrator.

Great story fantastic narrator
