Call Me by Your Name first swept across the world in 2007. It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. André Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.

More praise for Call Me By Your Name:

"Hammer’s soft, velvety voice lends itself perfectly to the story and its Italian setting. While you might think this one isn’t worth a listen if you’ve already seen the movie or read the book, many reviewers say it is still worth taking in even if you know the story - some even say it’s worth listening to more than once." (AskMen)

Critic reviews

"...Hammer's voice is brimming with such melody that, if you listen to it long enough, you can probably get drunk off it." (Vulture.com)

"...Armie Hammer (who plays Oliver in the movie) steps effortlessly into Elio's interior world. The result is staggering." (BookRiot)

"A must-listen for anyone familiar with the book or film." (Buzzfeed)

heart breaking

beautiful narration. great story of a first love ending realisticly.
romantic and cruel, raw and dreamy.

loved it.

Beautiful [and different from the movie]

This is a beautiful book; beautifully performed. I had seen and loved the movie but the book is a largely independent experience. It's the same people saying some of the same things but you go inside their [actually just Elio's] head much more.

Brilliantly written, beautifully read

This is the first audiobook I’ve ever listened to because I’m in the military and I rarely have time anymore to sit and actually read. It’s terrible. But this novel makes every description into something summery, lustful, and Italian. The narrator is deep and sonorous and pulls you into the world of Elio and Oliver and Italy in the 1980s. I may listen again to get rid of the winter blues!

Absolutely blown away

Absolutely Love the story and the narrator. Now moving on to find me. Also watched the movie and loved it.

Not what you would expect

First of all the narration of this audiobook is A+. The main thing that caught me off guard was how rapidly the story intensified. If you're looking for a light or maybe not so light romance novel I would definitely recommend it.

Pure poetry.

This is my first audio book. Been so moved by the film i read the book and wanting extend my inmersion trying this production. Many passages i followed reading along. Such a delight! Pure art.
This is my first review in english also, hope i managed to make some sense.

recommend

All i have to say is..I'm not crying you're crying. hope the movie lives up!

I could listen to this over and over!

I think I can safely say this is one of my favorite audiobooks of all time. A beautiful novel read with the beautiful voice of Armie Hammer. Loved it.

Beautiful Story

Sometimes you start something without knowing the emotional path it will take you. This book was like that for me. I didn’t know what to expect and I found myself smiling at some parts and crying at others. There were moments when the story just tugged at my heart for one reason or another. It made me wish I could freely as they had, to be able to feel as raw as they had and to be able to love even for a few days as they had.
I loved listening to this even though at first it was a little hard to follow because of the way he (Armie Hammer) started his narration, it made me feel like it lacked emotion but perhaps that was only because of the character trying to be indifferent. I did in fact enjoyed how he began to, in a way “open up” as how he might have been feeling came through with every word.
I recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a wonderful adventure in what at their time would have been a “forbidden love”. Or at least that’s what I felt from it.

I love it

its make me cry very lovely love story call me by your name love it
