Below is from the publisher of Find Me. They say it is 2 decades after they met, so 37/44, which is where the book ended. I am confused though as Samuel was dead 2 decades later. Unless the sequel takes place right before he passes away?? And I figured this person Samuel meets would be a man but it says a "young woman." I figured this was going to be a romantic relationship and if so, I am disappointed it is with a young woman. So many times it is a older man and young woman. Now if it ends up not being romantic but it changes Samuel in some other way, guess that is ok. And odd to say this beautiful woman upends his plans and changes his life forever, if he dies like 6 months later! We will find out in October.
"In this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide bestseller Call Me by Your Name revisits its complex and beguiling characters two decades after their first meeting.
No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name. First published in 2007, it was hailed as “a love letter, an invocation . . . an exceptionally beautiful book” (Stacey D’Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review). Nearly three quarters of a million copies have been sold, and the book became a much-loved, Academy Award–winning film starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom he falls in love.
In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever.
Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic.
Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies."
