The Story of a New Name
by Elena Ferrante
As usual, utterly perfect prose from Elena Ferrante. Few authors combine the domestic struggles of characters with political anger as much as Ferrante does; it's clear, vivid and a strong continuation of My Brilliant Friend that continues to see the growth of the protagonists Lila and Elena, pushing the characters in heartbreaking new ways that see audiences continue to remain invested in them.
The Neapolitan Novels are like Sally Rooney's Normal People if it was set in Italy; a period piece and actually good. Everything just comes together and I'm convinced that the show would get the same love and attention as the BBC series if it was in English. It's just a masterclass in storytelling.
