The Lost Daughter

"""Ferrante's novels are tactile and sensual, visceral and dizzying."" * The Guardian * ""It’s Leda’s voice that’s hypnotic, and it’s the writing that makes it that way. Ferrante can do a woman’s interior dialogue like no one else, with a ferocity that is shockingly honest, unnervingly blunt"" * Booklist * ""Ferrante's gift for psychological horror renders it immediate and visceral"" * The New Yorker * ""Ferrante is a hypnotist."" * The Spectator * ""[Ferrante] describes the female experience so intimately and so vividly that the reader feels like she could (and should) know the writer personally."" * New York Magazine * “A raw, gritty and gripping meditation of the difficulties of motherhood.” * The Observer * “An absorbingly shaped psychological drama, built around a single traumatising event from which the action metastasises.” * The Guardian * “Subtly daring.” * The Financial Times * “Entirely gripping….. a literary film with a literary script.” * The Spectator * “Sadness is lanced through the heart of Gyllenhaal’s film, which she both adapted and directed, but it’s rich and luxurious in its texture.” * The Independent * “Adapted from Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name, The Lost Daughter is a heady exercise in restraint."" * NME *"
