The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante
5.0
dark reflective sad medium-paced

I loved this every bit as much as the last, possibly more. 

I have never resonated so deeply with a narrative voice as I have with Elena. She is open and honest in a way that I have not seen before.

Ferrante has built a world so meticulously detailed that her books feel like epic stories despite their mundane subject. It's a deeply sad story and I am rooting so much for Elena and Lila. I am itching to read the next, but I'm already anxious that there are only two left.
