About this listen
In this spellbinding new exploration of the varieties of love, the author of Call Me by Your Name lets us back into his characters' lives years after their first meeting
In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, now a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train upends Sami's visit and changes his life forever.
Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, 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 nuances of emotion that are the substance of passion.
Find Me brings us back inside the world of one of our greatest contemporary romances to show us that in fact true love never dies.

Now for some more in depth thoughts (spoilers ahead)
I am so freaking annoyed that it took me too long to read this book because I trusted all the negative reviews.
Damn was I wrong.
People who dislike this book have no valid reasons. Hoenstly.
You need to understand literature and plot and symbolism in order to appreciate this book. It asks of you to be smart.
I appreciate books that do that, books that dont talk down to you or make you feel silly.
This book is beautifully written and it flows so effortlessly and naturally.
It follows 3 narrators, Samuel, Elio and Oliver.
Samuel was a story about second chances in life. It served the purpose it set to and it had some amazing dialogues and themes. It really challenges the reader to think without prejudice.
Then we follow Elio in his adulthood when he always has to deal with the loss of Oliver and how that has shaped literally his entire life. It felt great seeing how Elio found someone who truly cared for him to numb his pain and if he had given him more time I feel like they could have been happy together if things with Oliver never worked out.
Then there is one small chapter from Oliver's point of view where for the first time we see how he felt about the whole situation. He was never as calculating as he presented himself to be, we see him vulnerable and full of regret. We see him miss Elio painfully much and we finally can forgive him for breaking his heart.
Then we have 10 wonderful pages that tell us about their lives once they get back together. People complain that 10 pages aren't enough. They fail to understand that it is 100% on purpose. The entire book keeps repeating about time being lost and about the years and years they had to be apart. The reader through this book gets to experience the pain they did, breafly, since by the end of the book they get together. But these two people had to experience 20 years apart. 20 years. 20 years.
That's why it's so brilliant. It makes you fully understand what those years felt like.
What a brilliant author. What an incredible sequel.
You cannot compare it with the first book, they are too different. The first book is a summer read about first loves. This is a winter read about soulmates and destiny and true love and pain and loneliness.
How truly wonderful. I've never read anything like it.
I'm sad I didnt pick it up sooner

Beautiful book

The story starts with Elio's dad, finding himself after his marriage had ended. The last 3rd of the book is focused on Elio's important partner before he finds Oliver again (at last).
if you are expecting this sequel to be only about Elio and Oliver, I suggest you to make room for more as this is worth reading/listening.
I can't wait to start "Call ne by your name" and "Find me" again!
I just loved it!

Maybe it isn't the ending everyone would want, having the characters part for 20 years but I found it realistic and I liked the ending.
I think there was quite a bit left for the reader to imagine for themselves though. I would have liked a little more context on what happened to Sam etc. But overall, I enjoyed it and look forward to the movie adaptation.
Not what I was expecting!
