After the departure of her grown-up daughters, she takes a holiday on the Italian coast. But after a few days things become unsettling; on the beach she encounters a family whose brash behaviour proves menacing. Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family. The tale of a woman's rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with the past. The Lost Daughter is a profound exploration of the conflicting emotions that tie women to their children."}, "latest_revision": 8, "revision": 8, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-10T23:35:52.476689"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2025-06-13T13:50:23.478543"}}
