Synopsis "The Beach at Night "

A "beautifully written" dark fable from a doll's point of view--by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Lost Daughter and the Neapolitan Novels (The Washington Post). One of NPR's Best Books of the Year. Readers of Elena Ferrante's The Lost Daughter may recall the little doll--lost or stolen--around which that novel revolves. Here, Ferrante retells the tale from the doll's perspective. Celina is having a terrible night, one full of jealousy for the new kitten, Minù; feelings of abandonment and sadness; misadventures at the hands of the beach attendant; and dark dreams. But she will be happily found by Mati, her child, once the sun rises . . . "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it." --The Boston Globe

Elena Ferrante (Naples, Italy, 1943), pseudonym of the Italian writer Anita Raja, is one of the most enigmatic authors in contemporary literature. For years, her anonymity generated fascination and controversy. Her novel The Days of Abandonment (2002) launched her to success, consolidating with works like The Chronicles of Disaffection (2011) and the acclaimed trilogy My Brilliant Friend (adapted into a TV series). Although she has won awards such as the Oplonti and the Procida Elsa Morante, she has never collected them in person. In addition to narrative, she has written essays and children's literature, maintaining her mystery as an essential part of her literary legend.
