HTML:<b>Now an HBO series: the first volume in the <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling "enduring masterpiece" about a lifelong friendship between two women from Naples (<i>The Atlantic</i>).</b><br /> <br /> Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Elena Ferrante's four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its main characters, the fiery and unforgettable Lila and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflicted friendship. This first novel in the series follows Lila and Elena from their fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence.<br /> <br /> Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between two women.<br /> <br /> "An intoxicatingly furious portrait of enmeshed friends." —<i>Entertainment Weekly</i><br /> <br /> "Spectacular." —Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air<br /> <br /> "Captivating." —<i>The New Yorker</i>.
