The Beach at Night by Elena Ferrante

Strange and eerie, The Beach at Night, by the elusive European sensation, Elena Ferrante, could be described as Tim Burton meets the Velveteen Rabbit. A doll is left behind by her owner and has to spend the night alone on the beach. The doll tells of her terrifying experience in a dream like tale, supported by the vivid, almost surreal illustrations of Mara Cerri. This was my first encounter with the author, and now I am very curious to read her novels. -Lisanne E.
