Ferrante's writing makes even the most mundane events compelling by detailing the narrator's every thought.

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

This was just too triggering for me right now. I know where one of the plot lines is going and I just can’t. 

Ferrante is brilliant as always though and I’ll come back to this one at a later date.
