La historia sigue y sigue igual de interesnate. Lina y Lenu con su amistad caótica sin duda me han permitido reflexionar mucho al respecto.
Los personajes masculinos pareciera que están hechos para entusiasmarte tanto, que la desilusión posterior se siente mucho y es inevitable.

Oh, what a treat and torture at the same time. Ferrante is so evocative and strange, and I found the book utterly engrossing.

3rd book is a banger too! Just fantastic. The stakes get higher and the relationship tension is amplified. The intimate detailing of womanhood particularly in this book is stunning.
