Story of the lost child. Elena Ferrante. 2016.

The Story of the Lost Child is the dazzling finale in the saga of two women: the spirited, bookish Elena and the fiery Lila. Their tumultuous friendship, formed when they were children in Naples, has always been at the heart of their lives. 

Elena, now a published writer, is married with three daughters. She has come back to Naples to be with the man she has always loved. Lila is a successful entrepreneur and a mother, too, but has never managed to escape the stifling neighbourhood where she grew up.

Elena Ferrante describes with unrivalled honesty the interwoven lives of these two unforgettable women.
