This story is episodic, driven by characters vignettes not a grand adventure. Many people have said it's boring, but it's anything but. Ferrante pulls the reader into the lives of Lenù and Lila and their home town. You are an onlooker, rooting for characters while simultaneously hating them. Every character and their relationships to one another are complex and real.
I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store.
Moderate: Physical abuse, Violence, Sexual violence, Cursing, Domestic abuse, and Child abuse
