Lila and Elena are sixteen years old, both trapped in a dead end. Newlywed Lila, who has just taken her husband's surname, feels she is losing her very identity. Elena, now the model student, discovers with her friend's marriage that she feels suffocated in her neighborhood, in the world she is destined to live in.
The second book of the Neapolitan Quartet, starting from this point, sweeps the reader into the captivating youth of the two girls, following their transformation and the environment around them. Set against the backdrop of Naples and an entire country in which the disturbing traits of today's era are incubating.
The two friends drift apart, come back together, and through the sweeping pace of their relationship, they complete the puzzle of their lives, each with their own pieces. Elena Ferrante continues the stunning narrative anatomy of the lives of the two girls that began with My Brilliant Friend. On their journey towards maturity, two women so similar, yet so different, so among us…
