Set in Italy during the 80's, Call Me By Your Name follows seventeen year old Elio as he wiles away his summer holidays with American exchange student Oliver.
Their slow burning but passionate relationship unfolds on bike rides, during afternoons spent by the pool, and casual dinner parties.
But what really sets this book apart from your usual romantic fiction is Aciman's beautiful and intelligent writing style which gives the book a nostalgic and sexy feel. At only approximately 240 pages long, this book is the perfect summer companion!
