"* "I could not put this novel down. Elena Ferrante will blow you away." - Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones * "It's popularity is understandable since both its emotional and carnal condor are so potent." - Janet Maslin, New York Times * "Ferrante's theme has seldom received such close scrutiny in literary fiction... an elegant novel." - New York Times Book Review * "She is among the greatest Italian authors of recent years." - Corriere della Sera (Italy) * "Ferrante dissects the personal microcosm so well, and with awesome lucidity and precision shows us the meanderings of a woman's mind, the suffering that accompanies being abandoned, and the awful rumbling of time passing." - El Mundo (Spain) * "Elena Ferrante has given us a startlingly beautiful novel of exceptional and bold strength." - Il Manifesto (Italy)"
