The Days of Abandonment
โ€Quite extraordinary – a deeply discomforting, visceral tale of a woman unravelling.โ€ -Paula Hawkins in The GuardianTHE BREAK-OUT NOVEL BY THE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF MY BRILLIANT FRIENDRarely have the foundations upon which our ideas of motherhood and womanhood rest been so candidly questioned. This compelling novel tells the story of one woman`s headlong descent into what she calls an โ€absence of senseโ€ after being abandoned by her husband. Olga`s โ€days of abandonmentโ€ become a desperate, dangerous freefall into the darkest places of the soul as she roams the empty streets of a city that she has never learned to love. When she finds herself trapped inside the four walls of her apartment in the middle of a summer heat wave, Olga is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal again.
