Synopsis

Years after their intense summer romance, Elio's father, Samuel, is traveling from Florence to Rome to visit his son, now a gifted pianist. On the train, Samuel meets Miranda, a captivating stranger who disrupts his journey and alters the course of his life. This encounter sparks a new, unexpected connection that echoes past loves and future possibilities.

Structured in four movements, André Aciman's sequel to Call Me by Your Name follows Samuel, Elio, and Oliver as each confronts what came after that Italian summer — new relationships, old longing, and the question of whether people who once mattered can find their way back to each other.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does this book follow the same narrative structure as the first novel?

    Unlike the first book which is told entirely from a single perspective, this novel is divided into four distinct sections, each following a different character's point of view.

  • Is it necessary to read the previous book before starting this one?

    While this story revisits characters from the author's earlier work, it functions as a series of interconnected character studies that span several decades, meaning the narrative focus shifts significantly away from the central relationship of the first book for large portions of the text.
