Synopsis

The second book in Ferrante's lauded Neapolitan novels. Elena and Lila are now in their twenties. While marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, Elena continues her journey of self-discovery. The two young women share a complex and evolving bond that brings them close at times, and drives them apart at others. Each vacillates between hurtful disregard and profound love for the other. With this complicated and meticulously portrayed friendship at the centre of their emotional lives, the two girls mature into women.

Review

&quotThere is a savage honesty to the work of Elena Ferrante that is both unsettling and comforting at once. Here is an author who has poured every ounce of herself onto the page." - The Irish Times

&quotElena Ferrante may be the best contemporary novelist you have never heard of... If the best prose is like glass communicating without calling attention to itself Ms Ferrante's is crystal, and her storytelling both visceral and compelling." - The Economist

&quotArtfully written and absorbing" - The New Yorker

"...reminded me of the child-like excitement when you can't look up from the page, when your eyes seem to be popping from your head, when you think: I didn't know books could do this!" - Elizabeth Strout, The Millions

&quotWhile this trilogy is providing a captivating social history of mid-20th Neapolitan life it is primarily the story of a friendship." - --Lizzy's Literary Life

&quotWhile this trilogy is providing a captivating social history of mid-20th Neapolitan life it is primarily the story of a friendship." - Lizzy's Literary Life

&quotAlong with the intense and ever changing relationship between these two young women, society is very much at the heart of these novels. Questions of education and the aspirations of leaving behind the place you come from, are juxtaposed with the fates of those who never stray far beyond the street they were born. This is a superb sequel to My Brilliant Friend, a big vibrant (470+ pages) noisy novel peopled with unforgettable characters." - --Heavenali
