"Ferrante is finally back." - The Times
A POWERFUL NEW NOVEL BY ELENA FERRANTE, THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY BRILLIANT FRIEND
Giovanna's pretty face has changed: it's turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection and a life she can claim as her own?
Giovanna's search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. Adrift, she vacillates between these two cities, falling into one then climbing back to the other.
Set in a divided Naples, The Lying Life of Adults is a singular portrayal of the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.
"This is no amiable coming-of-age tale….the most intense writing about the experiences and interior life of a girl on the cusp of adulthood that I have ever read. It is brilliant." - The Financial Times
"An astonishing, deeply moving tale." - The Guardian
"A terrific story." - The Sunday Times
"An incendiary portrait of the volcanic currents of sex and betrayal." - Mail on Sunday
"Ferrante is a hypnotist." - The Spectator
"Lacerating." - The Economist
"Ferrante confronts female sexual awakening with such an absence of romantic enchantment it leaves you gasping." - The Daily Mail
"Ferrante has a gift, perhaps even a genius, for making great literature out of melodrama." - The New Yorker
"This book lives up to its author's reputation, and then some." - The Boston Globe
"Suspenseful and propulsive." - The New York Times
"Ferrante is still Ferrante - her characters have wide-spanned souls and so does Naples." - The Los Angeles Times
"A savage, raw confrontation of life in its fullness." - Marisa Tomei
Soon to be a NETFLIX Original Series
A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK AT BEDTIME
