The Story of a New Name: A Novel (Neapolitan Novels, 2)

Now an HBO series, the follow-up to My Brilliant Friend in theÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends growing up in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted family epic by Italyâ‚¬s most beloved and acclaimed writer, Elena Ferrante, â‚¬Å“one of the great novelists of our time.â‚¬Â (Roxana Robinson,Â The New York Times)

InÂ The Story of a New Name, Lila has recently married and made her enterÂ©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. Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment, and above all friendship: these are signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories. 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 is a source of strength in the face of life's challenges. In these Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante, the acclaimed author ofÂ The Days of Abandonment, gives readers a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging.

Ferrante is one of the worldâ‚¬s great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartetÂ she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.
