An Instant Classic and One of the Great Love Stories of Our Time
Andre Aciman's Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. Each is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the restless summer weeks, unrelenting currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion and test the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. It is an instant classic and one of the great love stories of our time.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Egyptian-born Aciman is the author of the acclaimed memoir Out of Egypt and of the essay collection False Papers. His first novel poignantly probes a boy's erotic coming-of-age at his family's Italian Mediterranean home. Elio 17, extremely well-read, sensitive and the son of a prominent expatriate professor finds himself troublingly attracted to this year's visiting resident scholar, recruited by his father from an American university. Oliver is 24, breezy and spontaneous, and at work on a book about Heraclitus. The young men loll about in bathing suits, play tennis, jog along the Italian Riviera and flirt. Both also flirt (and more) with women among their circle of friends, but Elio, who narrates, yearns for Oliver. Their shared literary interests and Jewishness help impart a sense of intimacy, and when they do consummate their passion in Oliver's room, they call each other by the other's name. A trip to Rome, sanctioned by Elio's prescient father, ushers Elio fully into first love's joy and pain, and his travails set up a well-managed look into Elio's future. Aciman overcomes an occasionally awkward structure with elegant writing in Elio's sweet and sanguine voice.

Simply wonderful.
Catching, lovely, full of feelings.
Call me by your name.
Before saying anything, its very well written, loved the descriptions made from the characters and there surroundings, the places, made you feel in the B, Rome, etc.
The situation between Elio and Oliver first of all I think this book has different point of view depending on the age your at.
Right now in my late 30's I feel that this is a book totally from a teenage point of view, Elio has a Wonderfull way of thinking on his 16, 17's, his way of managing the situation is totally youthful and fun to read in some parts its very repetitive, got tired of the word "later", you can read and feel the confusion on him.
On the other hand and its something that I haven't read on other comments not even similar the age gap between them he is underage and Oliver is 7 years older, its something that left me thinking and this is something written on the book to how Elio felt with the girl of his age and how he felt after been with Oliver, is something to take on notice, obviously this is my way of thinking in my 30's, if I were younger obviously I think my feeling would be different, right now at this age I think that there's ages for everything and something like this is different to manage with someone your age I can't even start to imagine how it is with someone with more experience than you, its a difficult subject to talk about maybe even abuse, grooming nowadays.
Some people will differ from my point of view but Its what I think, on the other hand, it will be great to read on how Oliver managed the situation from his point of view, how he felt, this book is narrated from Elios view.
Never gets old
Such a love story... Love re-reading this.
