The story of the lost girl

In the final part of the tetralogy "My Amazing Friend," Elena leaves her luxurious life in Florence to join Nino, her teenage lover, destroying with her actions what she had built with difficulty and pain: her career, her motherhood, and her marriage. She returns to Naples where she rekindles her friendship with Lila, the fierce, rebellious, lost, successful yet failed. "Her gaze is piercing, her narration compelling, her description of our daily life; a life that needs to be narrated to us by a woman in this exquisite way." The New York Times Book Review "Perhaps the best writer modern fiction has known. Her literature is as transparent as glass, her stories both instinctive and profound." The Economist "She, above all, is skilled in crafting plots and schemes." The Independent "There is no one who has written about Italy, its feelings, its neighborhoods, its flavors, and its intense emotions like Ferrante." IL Manifesto "A masterpiece in every sense of the word... I read all the books while immersed; I fell under their spell. I only wanted to follow Lila and Elena’s lives to the end."
