The Lost Girl (Two Friends 4)
La niña perdida brings to a close "Two Friends," the story of two friends who were born in Naples in the mid-20th century. A MEMORABLE SAGA "Ferrante is a born storyteller, as extraordinary and addictive as my also beloved John Irving, a classic writer in the wonderful sense of the word." Lina and Elena are now adults and have taken different paths: Elena left Naples to marry and become a successful writer in Florence. Only a rekindled youthful love will bring her back to Naples, where Lina awaits her. Lina is now a mother and has also succeeded in her own way in the local business. Elena is the cultured lady, Lina is seemingly the neighborhood woman, ignorant and unwilling to refinement, but pure intelligence and intuition are on Lina's side. Events accelerate when one day, Lina's daughter suddenly disappears: murder, kidnapping, death? No one knows, and the neighborhood whispers. Since then, Lina is no longer the same and madness lurks. Everything – men, women, the landscape, the entire city of Naples – become witnesses to the grief of a mother who doesn't know how to cry and who one day will also disappear, bringing the reader back to the first pages of this splendid saga. Intelligence, contained emotion, writing that adapts to events and fits the plot like a glove: everything is in these pages where one of the most brilliant works of the 21st century has been woven. "I only wanted to tell the lives of two women. And to do so, it was necessary for me to filter history into the background of their existences, the things that in one way or another had to do with them. I would like the story to help contemplate in narrative terms a piece of Italian history." Reviews by authors, press, and celebrities praising Elena Ferrante's work: "Elena Ferrante's novels have kept me tied to my armchair, reading and celebrating pages where emotion is never trivial: the pain and joy of feeling alive are there for the reader to make their own, and everything said is necessary, without a single adjective being superfluous or missing." "The wonderful thing about the Ferrante enigma is that we can concentrate only on her works." "I love Lenù so much... I cried reading her." "I read the Two Friends saga when they came out and I remember waiting for the third and fourth to be translated into English and rushing to the bookstore to buy them as soon as they were available." "Elena Ferrante has written extraordinary, indecently honest novels (...) With her writing, she strips the skin off routine." "She is surely the most transcendent revelation of European narrative in the last quarter century." "Elena Ferrante may be one of the best authors you've ever heard of." "An epic love story, destined to be one of the great works of Western literature." "I... have no words to describe what it feels like to discover a treasure like this. Those of you who enjoy reading will understand me. How did I not know Elena Ferrante? Her Naples saga is fascinating." |
