Muito bom. Uma leitura cativante. Gostei da evolução das personagens e de como o passado tem influência nas suas vidas. Este terceiro livro fala mais em concreto sobre a importância da educação e se é assim tão importante para se ser feliz e ter uma vida plena e com sentido.
Fez-me também gostar mais de Elena como personagem.

God, this one was stressful! I loved the tangents into Lila's life at the sausage factory and with Enzo, and how that contrasted with Elena's life in more wealthy, intellectual circles writing about things Lila was actually experiencing. All the shit with Nino and Pietro was incredibly frustrating, but I still liked Elena struggling with her feelings and what to do with herself. This was potentially my least favorite of the Neopolitan novels, but even that's not saying much, since it was still perfectly written and a beautiful read.

I just love these novels so much. They're unputdownable and deeply moving, and the characters make me want to bang my head against the wall in the best possible way. The writing and the translation are works of art. I'll definitely reread in the future.
