Sriram G G itibaren Stefanesti, Moldova
I bought this in a bookstore mostly because there was a girl working there who had great taste and recommended it (imagine that, a bookstore where people have actually read the books they sell). It's a translation of popular (so I was told) novelist Elena Ferrante's novel. In it, Olga's husband tells her in paragraph one that he is leaving her. Olga spends the rest of the book figuring out just what the hell is going on. And by that I mean, not why he is leaving her per se, but just what marriage might mean in its traditional form. It's an indictment of marriage and sexual relations, but it's certainly interesting. (I swear I'm not a man-hater, my book choices lately only seem like I am!!!)
very interesting, easy read.
