Named the #1 Book of the 21st Century by the New York Times: The “enduring classic” about the lifelong friendship of two women from Naples (The Atlantic).
Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Elena Ferrante’s four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its main characters, the fiery and unforgettable Lila and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflicted friendship. This first novel in the series follows Lila and Elena from their fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence.
Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between two women.
“An intoxicatingly furious portrait of enmeshed friends.” —Entertainment Weekly

    After all the positive reviews on the Internet I expected something very different. At first, I was bored and disappointed with the lack of a plot in Ferrante's novel, but a few hours into the book I found myself not being able to stop thinking about the friendship between main characters and comparing it with my childhood relationships. I only hope not to lose this interest before finishing all four Neapolitan novels.

    at first, i wasn't sure about this book. but as i kept reading, it completely engaged me in the story and i couldn't leave it aside. finished it in a bit less than three days. the story is very well thought through and very well put together. the style is simple but not boring and it is perfect for the story it is trying to tell. the more i think about what've read the more i realise how much i enjoyed it.

    The plebs were us. The plebs were that fight for food and wine, that quarrel over who should be served first and better, that dirty floor on which the waiters clattered back and forth, those increasingly vulgar toasts. The plebs were my mother, who had drunk wine and now was leaning against my father’s shoulder, while he, serious, laughed, his mouth gaping, at the sexual allusions of the metal dealer.

    I wished I could talk every day to a boy on that level: how many mistakes I had made with him; what foolishness it had been to want him, love him, and yet always avoid him.

    But staying near her meant staying in her world, becoming completely like her. And if I became like her, who would be right for me if not Antonio?
