A POWERFUL NEW NOVEL set in a divided Naples by ELENA FERANTE, the New York Times best-selling author of My Brilliant Friend and The Lost Daughter. Soon to be a NETFLIX Original Series.

Another spellbinding coming-of-age tale from a master.--People Magazine, Top 10 Books of 2020

Giovanna's pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, looks more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Is she turning into her Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father clearly despise? Surely there is a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is.

Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves from one to the other in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape.

Named one of 2016's most influential people by TIME Magazine and frequently touted as a future Nobel Prize-winner, Elena Ferrante has become one of the world's most read and beloved writers. With this new novel about the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Ferrante proves once again that she deserves her many accolades. In The Lying Life of Adults, readers will discover another gripping, highly addictive, and totally unforgettable Neapolitan story.

There's no doubt the publication of The Lying Life of Adults] will be the literary event of the year.--ELE Magazine

Nadie sabe quien es Elena Ferrante, y sus editores de origen procuran mantener un silencio absoluto sobre su identidad. Alguien ha llegado a sospechar que sea un hombre; otros dicen que nacio en Napoles para trasladarse luego a Grecia y finalmente a Turin.
La mayoria de criticos la saludan como la nueva Elsa Morante, una voz extraordinaria que ha dado un vuelco a la narrativa de los ultimos anos. El exito de critica y de publico se refleja en articulos publicados por periodicos y revistas tan notables como The New York Times y Paris Review.
En 2010 Lumen publico un volumen titulado Cronicas del desamor, donde se reunian las tres novelas para el publico adulto publicadas por Ferrante a lo largo de los anos, dos de las cuales fueron llevadas al cine. Luego vino esta saga compuesta por La amiga estupenda, Un mal nombre, Las deudas del cuerpo, y finalmente La nina perdida, un cuarto volumen que cierra una obra destinada a convertirse en un clasico de la literatura europea del siglo XXI.

No me arrepiento de mi anonimato. Descubrir la personalidad de quien escribe a traves de las historias que propone, de sus personajes, de los objetos y paisajes que describe, del tono de su escritura, no es ni mas ni menos que un buen modo de leer.
Elena Ferrante en una entrevista via mail de Paolo di Stefano para Il Corriere della Sera.
