A teenage girl uncovers family secrets and lies in 1990s Naples, in the new novel by Elena Ferrante, author of the Neapolitan quartet of novels (My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and The Story of the Lost Child).
As Giovanna moves from childhood into adolescence, she becomes fascinated with her father's sister Vittoria, from whom he is estranged. She goes down from the affluent heights of Naples where she has grown up in a wealthy left-wing family, into the depths of the rough neighbourhoods of her father's youth. As she begins to excavate her family history, everything of which she was certain unravels.
