Now an HBO series: the first volume in the New York
Times–bestselling “enduring masterpiece” about a lifelong
friendship between 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 “Spectacular.”
—Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air “Captivating.” —The
