Offered in 0 more formatsIn this third Neapolitan novel, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts of her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women have attempted are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seem them living a life of mystery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to see each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.
"A la fin des années 1960, alors que les évènements de 1968 s'annoncent et que les mouvements féministes et protestataires s'organisent, Elena, jeune diplômée de l'Ecole normale de Pise, est toujours aussi proche de son amie Lila. Leur relation est faite d'amour et de haine, comme celle de deux soeurs qui se ressemblent trop. Les circonstances les amènent à se rapprocher, puis les éloignent."--Cataloger's sumary.
