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.

A story within a story within a story within a story. What an amazing story and listen. Slow burning at the start but when it gets good it gets really really good. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed it a lot

I listened to this book with an open mind. I had read reviews that painted it in a somewhat negative light, but because I was so completely in love with CMBYN and with the characters Elio and Oliver, I had to form my own opinion.
Unfortunately, I agree with many of the reviews. This book fell short in terms of a follow up to Elio and Oliver's story. I wanted so much to hear more of their voices, and to hear about the longing and struggles that they had over the years as they battled with whether to find each other or not. CMBYN stirred something in me so much, but I couldn't bring those emotions back with this book.
It focused far too much on Samuel and his extremely fast moving love affair with a very young woman. I'm not against big age gaps, but I felt Miranda had things going on that made the relationship seem a bit too father/daughter for my liking.

Then the relationship with Elio and a much older man just seemed odd to me. It didn't evoke any of the feelings from CMBYN. Elio seemed to move too fast with him too, especially for someone who avoided relationships since his time with Oliver. Maybe it reminded me of a father/son relationship too much? Especially because Michel seemed to have father issues.

I enjoyed the last chapter, hearing Oliver's perspective, although it should have been way more of the book, not just the end.
Elio and Oliver's part of the book just ended far too quickly. I'm sure most readers came to hear more from Elio and Oliver, and we only got a small peek with them. It lacked references from the past that would have been amazing, like calling them by their names! The two books could have tied together so well, but no.
It's worth a read, if you loved CMBYN, if only for the closure it gives you, but the story could have been soooo much more.

I wanted so much more from this book!

It was simple and has diversity.
Slow at some points but worth the time spent.

Good

This book was the breath of fresh air I needed. The true ability to enter the caricatures was magnificent.

Marvelous
