Description
Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman is a literary novel set in the sun-drenched landscape of northern Italy during the 1980s.
The story follows seventeen-year-old Elio Perlman, who spends a summer at his family’s villa on the Italian Riviera. When Oliver, a twenty-four-year-old American scholar, arrives as a guest of Elio’s father, an academic, their initial distance gradually gives way to a deeply emotional and transformative connection. Over the course of the summer, their relationship develops into an intense exploration of desire, identity, and first love.
Rich in atmosphere and psychological detail, the novel reflects on memory, longing, and the enduring impact of formative relationships. It is a contemplative coming-of-age story that examines the complexities of intimacy and the passage of time.
