Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (Neapolitan Novels Book 3)

Part of the bestselling saga about childhood friends following different paths by â€œone of the great novelists of our timeâ€ (The New York Times).
Â
In the third book in the New York Timesâ€“bestselling Neapolitan quartet that inspired the HBO series My Brilliant Friend, Elena and Lila have grown into womanhood. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance, and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up for women during the 1970s. And yet, they are still very much bound to each other in a book that â€œshows off Ferranteâ€™s strong storytelling ability and will leave readers eager for the final volume of the seriesâ€ (Library Journal).
