Summary

A “beautifully written” (Washington Post) dark fable from a doll’s point of view by the New York Times best-selling author of The Lost Daughter and the Neapolitan Novels

Listeners 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.

Too short to be worth one credit

Sweet little story but I had not spotted how short it was - check the length before purchasing.
