Call Me by Your Name is a moving exploration of first love set in the sun-drenched beauty of northern Italy in the summer of 1983. The story follows 17-year-old Elio Perlman, a sensitive and intellectual boy who becomes entangled in a passionate and complicated romance with Oliver, a charismatic 24-year-old American scientist. What begins as subtle tension between them develops into an unforgettable, if fleeting, love story that challenges Elio's understanding of himself and the world. Through tender moments, heartfelt confessions, and a bittersweet breakup, Elio learns the profound impact of love—its joy, its heartbreak, and its transformative power. A meditation on identity, vulnerability, and the beauty of fleeting connections, this story leaves readers feeling longing, reflection, and hope.
