Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment, and above all friendship: these are signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories.

In these Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante, the acclaimed author of The Days of Abandonment, gives readers a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging.
