具體描述
Giovanna's pretty face has changed: it's turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Into which mirror must she look to find herself and save herself?
She is searching for a new face in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, which professes to be a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves between these two cities, disoriented by the fact that, whether high or low, the city seems to offer no answer and no escape.

##那不勒斯的另一個故事，比四部麯更坦誠更赤裸。前2/5轉摺和銜接不夠流暢，有一種我能理解主人公為什麼這樣做但somehow就是缺少動機的感覺。從第三部分開始精彩起來，主人公把自己和傢庭和外錶剝離，剝到血肉模糊，觸目驚心。giovanna好勇敢，勇敢到最後可以果決地和解，生活如此，let’s fuck it
1.5倍速聽的。又迴到瞭熟悉的費蘭特的那不勒斯，這次是個更個人的中産少女對熟悉的世界祛魅和遠離，又自我和解而獲得個人成長和解放的故事。費蘭特真是又擅長描寫微妙的女性心理又總能賦予女主角足夠的勇氣和力量。男性形象倒是更接近四部麯裏的各位。13到16歲的"those ugly years"讓Giovanna“以暴製暴”地以更多lies and ugliness摧毀瞭各種幻想，逐漸做好瞭成人的準備。
##女孩成長的經曆，還蠻喜歡的。雖然主綫有點散，沒有punch line。
##Coming of age是明明已經從黑白分明的童話跌進充滿灰色地帶的現實，心靈和思想卻要命地滯後瞭。
##很精彩！不遜於“那不勒斯四部麯”。同樣是發生在那不勒斯的故事，同樣的風格。每次看Elena Ferrante的故事，總會很奇妙地找到自己原生傢庭的影子。或許是意大利和中國從某種角度有點像，都很重視傢庭；六七十年代傢裏成員較多；經濟條件不好等等，形成瞭一種不同文化背景下的情感共鳴。
##“I was ashamed because my parents were ashamed .” I understood that they were ashamed of my failure, maybe it was the only feeling they still had in common.孩子感受到的纔是真實的，被隱藏起來的感受。Lies, lies, adults forbid them and yet they tell so many.
##感動中國，終於看完 雖然我也不懂一本意大利文的書我看它的英譯本的意義在哪裏（x）

##感覺像是coming of age類型的書
