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 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 for women during the 1970s. And yet, they are still very much bound to each other in a book that \"shows off Ferrante's strong storytelling ability and will leave readers eager for the final volume of the series\" (\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship.\" --\u003ci\u003eNPR\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Ferrante\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Europa Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609452339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Best Translated Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2014 pg. 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2014 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/12\/2014 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/07\/2014 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/22\/2014 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/14\/2014 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2014 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/03\/2014 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2014 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2014 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2014 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Editors Choice\/Adult\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElena Ferrante\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Days of Abandonment\u003c\/i\u003e (Europa, 2005), which was made into a film directed by Roberto Faenza, \u003ci\u003eTroubling Love\u003c\/i\u003e (Europa, 2006), adapted by Mario Martone, and \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e (Europa, 2008), soon to be a film directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
