Review Quote Praise for Troubling Love " Troubling Love is a psychological mystery...Ferrante is fascinated by the moments when a personality--like a wire stretched too far from its power source--shorts and corrodes." --David Lipsky, The New York Times "A tour de force, Troubling Love is a harrowing tour of a feminine psyche under siege. Together with The Days of Abandonment , it confirms Ferrantes reputation as one of Italys best contemporary novelists." --Seattle Times "With quick-paced mystery guiding the story, Delia explores her relationship with her mother, unraveling memories and secrets repressed since childhood and coming to terms with an upbringing filled with jealousy and violence... Troubling Love is vivid and powerful." --Library Journal "Ferrantes polished language belies the rawness of her imagery." --The New Yorker "Ferrante delivers a brutally frank tale about the dangerous intersection of rage and desire." --Booklist Praise for Elena Ferrante Details ISBN1933372168 Author Ann Goldstein Short Title TROUBLING LOVE Publisher Europa Editions Language English Translator Ann Goldstein ISBN-10 1933372168 ISBN-13 9781933372167 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2006 DOI 10.1604/9781933372167 UK Release Date 2006-09-21 Imprint Europa Editions Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2006-09-21 US Release Date 2006-09-21 Subtitle The first novel by the author of My Brilliant Friend Pages 144 Publication Date 2006-09-21 DEWEY 853.92 Audience General NZ Release Date 2012-09-30 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
