Find Me by Andre Aciman

The years have passed since Elio first discovered Oliver and any relationship since that time has been dissected by both of them. This story is so much more than that - it is truly about finding love wherever and with whomever you can. The author has eloquently described the butterflies in the stomach of that first attraction, the danger of an inappropriate couple and finally the acceptance that comes with time and age that it really doesn't matter. This is a lush story of the love between fathers and sons, fathers and daughters and partners no matter what the sex or age. The Italian countryside is lush, the language is musical and the message is clear - the heart doesn't care. A sequel but easily works as a standalone.
