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)

What the critics say

"...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)

Editorial Review

Plunge headfirst into this enthralling story of love, intimacy, and above all, passion. Call Me By Your Name is a true coming of age tour de force that will have you riveted from the opening lines until the very end.

Elio is 17, living in Italy, and trying to find his footing in the world. Then, Oliver, a 24-year-old graduate student, comes to board at his parents’ home for the summer. Before long, the two young men are caught in a tangle of tension, cautious flirtation, friendship, and intimacy. As the summer progresses, Elio and Oliver weave a complicated dance of passion and tenderness that is both beautiful and doomed. At once a coming of age story and a tale of romance, Call Me By Your Name is touching, tragic, and truly magical.

Author Andre Aciman sets the tone and mood of the story beautifully. His rich descriptions, delicate nuances, and believable characters will leave a lasting impression on listeners. The audiobook is narrated by Armie Hammer, who has a strong connection to the work, having played Oliver in the 2017 major motion picture adaptation. He steps easily into the narrative role of Elio, bringing the same depth and passion to the reading as he did to his on-screen portrayal of Oliver. Hammer has a lithe and melodic tone that is enchanting and engrossing. His emotive voice expertly captures the feel of the story and pulls the listener in. His performance of this superbly written and deeply moving story is a true must-listen experience.

Both critically acclaimed and vastly popular worldwide, Call Me By Your Name is a tale of fleeting love that you will find difficult to pause and impossible to forget.

Just beautiful!!! Loved hearing Armie tell the story. I saw the movie first. But man this book hit me so much harder. Maybe because I already knew the characters. And I pictured both Timothee and Armie in those roles. But man the words written in this book. Hearing Elio’s point of view. And the ending. Just beautiful.

I've listened to this audiobook twice now and it's still just a beautiful written & narrated as the first time I listened. The only thing that threw me off a bit the first time I listened was the the book is written from Elio's perspective and narrated by Armie Hammer who played Oliver's character in the film. That wasn't a bad thing either, it just took me a minute to get used to it. Aciman's understanding of the intricacies of love is incredible. Never before have I read (listened to) a story that I felt I could relate to on so many levels. How love is a beautiful, tragic, heartbreaking, heart wrenching, lovely, awful incredible, powerful emotion that never really lets go of us. This is a must-read, I hope you enjoy it.

Such a beautiful & accurate depiction of love.

Armie Hammer was amazing at narrating this story. It can at times be a little erotic but the overall message of the story is so beautiful. it isnt about a guy who just wants to get banged by his house guest. The story goes a lot deeper. It does take a bit of time getting used to as the language can be quite harsh. Id ive this book a chance because the actual story and the actual characters are beautiful;

Great Listen

I have read the book multiple times, so I knew every twist and turn of the story. I have seen the movie multiple times, so I was prepared for Armie Hammer's line-readings. The audio book is another creature; Armie Hammer's voice brings new life to familiar passages. He did a very, very good job, though I will always lament that Timothee Chalamet didn't lend his voice to a character that he has already made iconic. The author's words drew me to the Italian Riviera a couple summers ago, in anticipation of the movie, and determined to re-read the book in the locations where the original story is set. Mr. Aciman's words and Armie Hammer's delivery took me back on that holiday, one that I'll never regret ended in tears.
