The prize-winning 100,000-copy Italian bestseller A 2023 book of the year for the Financial Times, the Irish Times, the New European, Marie Claire and Largehearted Boy ''Deliciously enjoyable'' Katherine Heiny ''I adored it'' Naoise Dolan ''Wild, funny and disturbing'' Roddy Doyle ''Thrillingly original'' Monica Ali ''It would be simply impossible for a book this good to go unnoticed'' Big Issue _________________________________ A delightfully funny Italian novel about sex, love, family - and how a writer transforms her life into art Vero has grown up in Rome with her eccentric family: an omnipresent mother who is devoted to her own anxiety, a father ruled by hygienic and architectural obsessions, and a precocious genius brother at the centre of their attentionAs she becomes an adult, Vero''s need to strike out on her own leads her into bizarre and comical situations: she tries (and fails) to run away to Paris at the age of fifteen; she moves into an unwitting older boyfriend''s house after they have been together for less than a week; and she sets up a fraudulent (and wildly successful) street clothing stall to raise funds to go to Mexico. Most of all, she falls in love - repeatedly, dramatically, and often with the most unlikely and inappropriate of candidates. As she continues to plot escapades and her mother''s relentless tracking methods and guilt-tripping mastery thwart her at every turn, it is no wonder that Vero becomes a writer - and a liar - inventing stories in a bid for her own sanity. Narrated in a voice as wryly ironic as it is warm and affectionate, Lost on Me seductively explores the slippery relationship between deceitfulness and creativity (beginning with Vero''s first artistic achievement: a painting she steals from a school classmate and successfully claims as her own)Deceptively simple, its tenderness offset by moments of cool brutality, Lost on Me is a masterwork of human observation.
