Vero has grown up in Rome with her eccentric family: 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 centre of their attention. As she becomes an adult, Vero's need to strike out on her own leads her into bizarre and comical situations, and a complicated relationship with truth and storytelling ...©2026 Veronica Raimo (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited

Reseñas de la crítica

Highly entertaining, thought-provoking and one of 2023's best novels yet
Funny and tender
Wild, funny and disturbing, all I ask of a book about mothers and their daughters.
Excellent ... written in a spare and precise style from the pen of a biting narrator. It would be simply impossible for a book this good to go unnoticed
Remarkable. A darkly funny novel of rhythm, subtlety and nuance ... a writer who deserves as wide an audience as possible
Restless and sly ... intelligently spiky
I fell head over heels in love with Lost on Me. What a thrillingly original voice! Raimo writes with a tender brutality that is simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking
I adored Lost on Me. With combustive prose and oxidising wit, Veronica Raimo sets fire to the Bildungsroman. A clear-eyed comedic talent who bends the novel form to her will
A uproariously funny portrait of an unconventional family from a writer who knows the sliver of ice in the heart as well as she knows love. This deliciously enjoyable novel is a true original and one to savour
When the book you start reading is immediately hilarious and deeply disturbing, you know you're onto something special. Lost on Me is that book
Is it possible, today, to completely reinvent auto-fiction? For Veronica Raimo it clearly is. Get ready to talk about this book for a long, long time
This book made me want to clear my calendar and read everything of Raimo's I could get my hands on. Incisive, engrossing, and deeply funny
Like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, Veronica Raimo mocks the absurdities of her family life as well as tries to reconcile her own ambiguous feelings. A bold, provocative, and original book
A desecrating and tender portrait of family that reels us in from the very first lines
Many pages in this novel are so intense and unscrupulous that one feels the apprehension of being caught spying in a stranger's mailbox
Reading this novel is a blast ... Many of the pages are jellyfish stings: they burn on and on
Veronica Raimo is a stupendous comedian
A story that nails us down with a powerful first-person voice, clear and exhilarating.
With its stellar voice, Raimo's inquisitive and vulnerable novel proves tough to put down
Lost on Me is the naughty grandson of Natalia Ginzburg's Family Lexicon ... Raimo has tapped the novelistic potential of her affections and has transformed them into comedy. The result deserves all of the praise flaunted on the cover
Filled with humour and neuroses ... a witty and complex portrait of a woman becoming herself
Lost on Me was anything but; I was utterly seduced by this wry and fearless novel featuring the unforgettable voice of Vero, a young woman with a sharp sense of humour and a splendid eye for the absurd
What a fresh, vivid and unpredictable voice, bursting with life, I loved it. Finally something that's not like everything else.
