Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante
4.0
4.5 stars
I thought that I wasn't enjoying this one as much (which is relative, trust me) but after hitting the half-way point, I couldn't stop. I sat down after getting home from work and marathoned that last half in a couple of hours and now my head is swimming with these characters once again.
I don't even know what I want to happen at this point.
The themes of feminism, of marriage, of work and of duty were all really interesting here, even in their more explicit incarnations. I'm going to have to take some time to digest it all.
Full review to come.
