The Beach At Night

Readers of Elena Ferrante's The Lost Daughter may recall the little doll--lost or stolen--around which that novel revolves. Here, Ferrante retells the tale from the doll's perspective. Celina is having a terrible night, one full of jealousy for the new kitten, Minu; feelings of abandonment and sadness; misadventures at the hands of the beach attendant; and dark dreams. But she will be happily found by Mati, her child, once the sun rises .
