    Fantastic tetralogy that takes you on a journey to the tumultuous Naples of 1970. With the focus on the relationship between two girls, in different phases of their lives, it exposes all the emotions that a strong friendship can evoke, along with the insecurities and problems that can arise! I would highly recommend it!

Description & Specifications

Elena and Lila, the two wonderful friends, are now women. Lila, who got married at sixteen and has a son, left her husband and her affluent life and works as a laborer under difficult conditions. Elena has left the neighborhood where she grew up, completed her studies at the University of Pisa, and has published a successful novel, events that have integrated her into the world of letters and the upper-middle-class salons.

Both of them, each in their own way, have broken down the walls that kept them trapped in a life steeped in misery, ignorance, and submission. They can now open themselves to the vast sea of opportunities that the 1970s brought to the world, always united by that strong, unbreakable bond of a unique friendship...

“Elena Ferrante has written stunning, crystalline, pure-bred novels. She devastates the affectations and appearances of the bourgeoisie, tearing the flesh of the establishment[…]. The Neapolitan Quartet is a remarkable story, full of genuine emotion and twists.” The New Yorker

“We all should read anything that bears the signature of Elena Ferrante.” The Boston Globe

“Georg Lukacs once said that The Betrothed by Manzoni is the allegory of the entire Italian History. In the same way, Elena Ferrante transforms the love, separation, and reunion of two poor girls into a tragedy of their city, a beautiful yet heartbreaking place.” The New York Times
