'Incendiary.' - Mail on Sunday 'The most intense writing about the experiences and interior life of a girl on the cusp of adulthood that I have ever read.' - Financial Times 'An astonishing, deeply moving tale.' - The Guardian 'Modern, urgent, truthful.' - The Telegraph 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. This powerful new novel set in a divided Naples by bestselling author Elena Ferrante is a singular portrayal of the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.
