In this irreverent and hilariously inverted bildungsroman, award-winning and bestselling Italian author Veronica Raimo transforms neurosis, sex and family disaster into brilliant comedy reminiscent of Fleabag and Natalia Ginzburg?s Family LexiconAlready a bestseller and award winner in Italy, Lost on Me is a burningly witty novel of a young woman?s coming of age in a neurotic family from one of Italy?s most celebrated young writers working today.Born into a family with an omnipresent mother who is devoted to her own anxiety, a father ruled by hygienic and architectural obsessions, and a precocious genius brother at the center of their attention, our heroine Vero languishes in boredom in her childhood home. Peering through tiny windows at children in the streets below while cramped in her family coven, Vero periodically attempts to strike out but is no match for her mother?s relentless tracking methods and guilt-tripping mastery. Vero?s every venture outside their Rome apartment ends
