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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46088332476635,"sku":"9781787703124-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781787703124-us-300.jpg?v=1727756516","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781787703124-secondhand-the-lying-life-of-adults-a-sunday-times-bestseller","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
