About this book

Elena Ferrante's children's book "The Beach at Night" tells the story of a doll named Celina who gets left behind on a beach. Throughout the night, Celina faces various challenges including the Mean Beach Attendant of Sunset who attempts to steal all her words, the Fire that tries to burn her, and the Sea that refuses to answer her prayers. The work has garnered appreciation from critics despite its dark tone and complex themes of abandonment and envy. Now that the sun is rising, Celina can see things more clearly.
