Call Me by Your Name first swept across the world in 2007. It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. André Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.

"For once I liked the movie better! Maybe it's because I saw the movie first, I"m not sure. I felt that the first three quarters of the book were sappy and depressing at times. Elio's internal struggle was explain ad nauseam and I get tired of hearing about it. I must say the end of the book, from Rome on, was sweet and endearing. I loved hearing how they reconnected later in life and still cared for one another. I would recommend, especially if you have or plan on seeing the movie. You can decide for yourself! "

“Armie Hammer’s intimate whisper makes each beautiful, erotic, or painful moment bittersweet…Hammer is convincing as Oliver, and while his voice is somewhat mature for seventeen-year-old Elio, his emotional tone is impeccable. When the men meet again years later, Hammer captures the moment, which is both ordinary and devastating.”

— BuzzFeed News"In the audiobook, Armie Hammer (who plays Oliver in the movie) steps effortlessly into Elio’s interior world. The result is staggering. I found myself holding my breath though parts of this book. I’d be listening to it while cooking, and would have to stop and sit down because I couldn’t concentrate on anything but his voice. ...Hammer made himself disappear until only Elio remained. His narration is so honest, so vulnerable, and so authentic...

— CollectorofBookBoyfriendsSuperb . . . The beauty of Aciman's writing and the purity of his passions should place this extraordinary first novel within the canon of great romantic love stories for everyone.
— Charles Kaiser, The Washington Post Book WorldAn extraordinary examination of longing and the complicated ways in which we negotiate the experience of attraction. . . . It's startling that a novel so bracingly unsentimental--alert to the ways we manipulate, second-guess, forestall, and finally reach stumblingly toward one another--concludes with such emotional depths.
— Mark Doty, O, The Oprah MagazineThis novel is hot . . . a love letter, an invocation, and something of an epitaph. . . . An exceptionally beautiful book.
— Stacey D'Erasmo, The New York Times Book ReviewIf you are prepared to take a hard punch in your gut, and like brave, acute, elated, naked, brutal, tender, humane, and beautiful prose, then you've come to the right place.
