Call me by your name

Bogen bag succesfilmen Call Me by Your Name. Romantisk kærlighedshistorie sat i Norditalien i 1983. Den 17-årige Elio tilbringer sommeren med sin familie i deres hus i Norditalien og forelsker sig hovedkulds i familiens sommergæst, den lidt ældre studerende Oliver. Elio og Oliver udvikler ganske langsomt et forhold til hinanden, og det bliver en sommer i det smukke italienske landskab, de aldrig glemmer – og som kommer til at ændre deres liv for altid.
