“nothing Quite Like This Has Ever Been Published Before,” Proclaimed The Guardian About The Neapolitan Novels In 2014. Against The Backdrop Of A Naples That Is As Seductive As It Is Perilous And A World Undergoing Epochal Change, Elena Ferrante Tells The Story Of A Sixty-year Friendship Between The Brilliant And Bookish Elena And The Fiery, Rebellious Lila With Unmatched Honesty And Brilliance. The Four Books In This Novel Cycle Constitute A Long, Remarkable Story, One That Vogue Described As “gutsy And Compulsively Readable,” Which Readers Will Return To Again And Again, And Each Return Will Bring With It New Revelations.
