Synopsis "The Lying Life of Adults "

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYThe Washington Post - O, The Oprah Magazine - TIME Magazine - NPR - Financial Times - New York Post - Kirkus Reviews - Harper's Bazaar AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER In this powerful novel set in a divided Naples by Elena Ferrante, the New York Times best-selling author of My Brilliant Friend, fourteen-year-old Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which wears a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity, where her guide is the unforgettable Aunt Vittoria. With this new novel about the passage from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Ferrante gives her readers another gripping, highly addictive, Neapolitan story. "Another spellbinding coming-of-age tale from a master."--People Magazine

Elena Ferrante (Naples, Italy, 1943), pseudonym of the Italian writer Anita Raja, is one of the most enigmatic authors in contemporary literature. For years, her anonymity generated fascination and controversy. Her novel The Days of Abandonment (2002) launched her to success, consolidating with works like The Chronicles of Disaffection (2011) and the acclaimed trilogy My Brilliant Friend (adapted into a TV series). Although she has won awards such as the Oplonti and the Procida Elsa Morante, she has never collected them in person. In addition to narrative, she has written essays and children's literature, maintaining her mystery as an essential part of her literary legend.
