A "beautifully written" dark fable from a doll's point of view-by the   New York Times  -bestselling author of   The Lost Daughter   and the Neapolitan Novels (  The Washington Post  ). 

One of NPR's Best Books of the Year. 

Readers 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 . . .

"Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it." -  The Boston Globe
