'Extraordinary . . . Evocative, poetic and deeply beautiful . . . This riff on longing, Sexual awakening and the impact of the past will strike an exquisite chord with those falling in love for the first time (or out of love for the last time).'TatlerCall Me By Your Name tells the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest Oliver over the course of a restless summer on the Italian Riviera. Currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers, who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What ensues is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration, yet an experience that will mark them for a lifetime. For what Elio and Oliver discover on the Riviera, and again during a sultry evening in Rome, is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.'Quite simply, brilliant . . . This is an elegy, a celebration, a meditation on the truth of passion that is nuanced and universal. It is a tremendous debut.'Francesca Segal, Observer
