The Story of a New Name (Neapolitan Novels Book 2)

The Story of a New Name (Neapolitan Novels Book 2)

A novel in the bestselling quartet about two very different women and their complex friendship: â€œEveryone should read anything with Ferranteâ€™s name on itâ€ (The Boston Globe).
Â
The follow-up to My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name continues the epic New York Timesâ€“bestselling literary quartet that has inspired an HBO series, and returns us to the world of Lila and Elena, who grew up together in post-WWII Naples, Italy.
Â
In The Story of a New Name, Lila has recently married and made her entrÃ©e into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighborhood that she so often finds stifling. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and a source of strength in the face of lifeâ€™s challenges. In these Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante, â€œone of the great novelists of our timeâ€ (The New York Times), gives us a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging, a meditation on love and jealousy, freedom and commitmentâ€”at once a masterfully plotted page-turner and an intense, generous-hearted family saga.
