Storia del nuovo cognome by Elena Ferrante
3.0

I feel about this second volume pretty much the same way I felt about the first: it's super readable--even too much so--perceptive and moving at times, but also in some strange way superficial, easy, even old fashioned. This modernist voice clashes, a bit, with the modernity of the story being told. Of course I'm moving on to the next volume, though, so who am I to knock what I obviously find pleasing enough to stay with?
