It might also be because I struggle to read from the perspectives of teenagers, it usually puts me off a book. Therefore, I think I am going to continue the series when they become young adults.

Llegué al final con el pecho apretado. Siento que viví en Nápoles de los años cincuenta. Caminé por las calles del barrio, entré en las casas, vi las cacerolas tiznadas y rotas…
Elena es una narradora encantadora: sincera, vulnerable, imperfecta, reflexiva. Lila es definitivamente uno de mis personajes favoritos de la literatura contemporánea. Hay muchos personajes, y están tan bien caracterizados que en la fiesta final me aprecia estarlos viendo.
Leí la traducción al francés y no leí la sinopsis, así que fui descubriendo todo poco a poco y fue una experiencia muy atrayente. Creo que la traducción del título al francés devela demasiado, en español me parece mucho mejor.
Es un libro adictivo, de esos que te hacen desvelarte y preparar café a las ocho de la noche para seguir leyendo.
El final se queda abierto, se nota que es una saga, lo que puede o no gustarles. A mi me parece ideal.
No se me ocurre ninguna crítica. Quizás que el inicio puede parecer lento, pero luego todo toma fuerza.
Me encantó.
Es mi primer acercamiento a Elena Ferrante y me declaro su fans absoluta. Quiero leer toda su obra.

This was such a beautiful book—so easy to get lost in the prose and fully immersed in the story. This was such an incredible reflection on childhood, and more specifically, girlhood. I’m always impressed by books that can follow a character from a young age and have an accurate a reasonable voice for the character while still making it an engaging read. I am eager to read more by this author and truly beautiful work by the translator!
