The story of the lost girl | Elena Ferrante

89

Product description

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 painfully and arduously built: her career, her motherhood, and her marriage. She returns to Naples where she rekindles her friendship with Lila, the fierce, rebellious, lost, successful-failed woman. "Her insight is sharp, her narration compelling, her description a renewed portrayal of our daily life; a life that needs to be narrated to us by a woman in this exquisite way." "Perhaps she is the best writer the modern novel has known. Her literature is as transparent as glass, her stories both primal and profound at the same time." "She, above all, is skilled in crafting plots and schemes." "There is no one who has written about Italy and its feelings, neighborhoods, flavors, and intense emotions like Ferrante." "A masterpiece in every sense of the word... I read all her books while immersed; I fell under her spell. I only wanted to follow Lila and Elena’s lives to the very end."
