THE LYING LIFE OF ADULTS: Elena Ferrante

THE LYING LIFE OF ADULTS

by Elena Ferrante

A new Ferrante is like finding another piece to a puzzle that you ache to complete. This standalone novel feels like a companion to her Neapolitan series, an echo of those stories but one that rings out with different vibrations and intonations. Set in the 1990s in Naples, we meet the teenage Giovanna, who steps out of the comfort and discomfort of her affluent upbringing when she meets her estranged aunt Vittoria. I love Elena Ferrante, she never disappoints.
