The Days of Abandonment is the gripping story of an Italian woman’s experiences after being suddenly left by her husband after fifteen years of marriage.
With two young children to care for, Olga finds it more and more difficult to do the things she used to: keep a spotless house, cook meals with creativity and passion, refrain from using obscenities. After running into her husband with his much-younger new lover in public, she cannot even refrain from assaulting him physically.
Olga conveys her journey from denial to devastating emptiness—and when she finds herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment, she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal.

Viktig. Alle som skilles eller kjenner noen som skiller seg bør lese!

This book isn’t for everyone. It is a deep dive into the dark and depressing thoughts of a mother, who’s husband leaves her for another woman. A vulgar but truthful tale. I will also mention that the reader does an excellent job in portraying the tormented Olga.
