Something about the hot sun, the endless hours on the beach that makes the European Holiday take a turn… This week Bethany and Mary discuss Elena Ferrante’s “The Lost Daughter,” an iconic beach read and film directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. The story uses the summer trip as a backdrop to exploring the darker sides of self and we ponder what it means to be a sad-girl-turned-sad-woman.

Book discussed:

The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante
