The story of the new name

In the second part of "My Amazing Friend," Leila works at her husband's family company. As for Elena, she excels in her studies aiming to escape her fate in the miserable Neapolitan neighborhood. But they do not stay long before meeting on the beach, where Nino and his family join them. In a shocking mix of events and feelings at this dark beach, Elena Ferrante continues to lure the reader into the overwhelming journey of the two friends. Perhaps she is the best writer the modern novel has known. Her literature is as transparent as glass, and her stories are primal and deep at the same time. The Economist is, above all, skilled in creating plots and schemes. The Independent has never written about Italy and its feelings, neighborhoods, flavors, and intense emotions like Ferrante has.
