Novel
Short Review:
In this third Neapolitan novel, Elena and Lila, the
two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women.
Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the
comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left
the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel,
all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and
richly furnished salons. Both women have attempted are pushing against the
walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance
and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened
up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each
other by a strong, unbreakable bond.
About The Author:
