“Nothing quite like it has ever been published before . . .
Brilliant novels, exquisitely translated.”
*The Guardian*
“Elena Ferrante has established herself as the foremost writer in
Italy—and in the world.”
*The Sunday Times*
“Stunning. An intense, forensic exploration of friendship.”
*The TLS*
“To the uninitiated, Elena Ferrante is best described as Balzac
meets The Sopranos and rewrites feminist theory.”
*The Times*
“Ferrante’s writing seems to say something that hasn’t been said
before, in a way so compelling its readers forget where they are,
abandon friends and disdain sleep.”
*LRB*
“A modern classic.”
*The Times*
"Ferrante confronts female sexual awakening with such an absence of
romantic enchantment it leaves you gasping."
*The Daily Mail*
"Elena Ferrante is an expert chronicler of adolescence and its many
indignities, as well as its erratic, overwhelming passions."
*The Observer*
"Ferrante is a hypnotist."
