Soon to be an HBO series, book three in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, “one of the great novelists of our time.” (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times)
In the third book in the Neapolitan quartet, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.
Ferrante is one of the world’s great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet 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.
For Elena: the book should be mediocre if Elena is depicted in an affectionate way, and it is the reflecting and deploring tone that makes this girl sincere, flawed yet display her own goodness. When we read this novel, we must not omit the brilliance of th...
評分Even more stunning! Why aren't there more books about female friendship?! From this book, the relationship between Lila and Elena can not only be described as love-hatred anymore. It was filled with every emotion, jealousy, fear, rage, and respect. There wa...

評分I was moved by the energy and power of Lina as a female main character struggling in that feudal community. However, the plain language bored me, as if the author was trying so hard to make the story dramatic and intriguing. Or maybe I'm just not interested in this kind of female power related story
评分簡言之就是在玩壞自己的必然道路上這對那不勒斯姐妹花的無窮偶然性。太好看瞭,一部接一部完全沒泄,一個(不知道經曆瞭什麼的)永動機般的可怕作者
评分政治就是穿衣吃飯過日子。兩個女性的成長蛻變史是討論Neo-Fascism, second wave feminism, Eurocommunism等宏大復雜議題的絕佳載體。Mind-blowingly good. P.S. Elena就在玩Lila玩剩下的。聽Lila吵架,勝讀十年書。
评分我從不擔心lila,她就像是先知一樣擁有預知潮流方嚮的能力,她的力量與自我掙紮是從裏嚮外釋放齣來的,她自己就是能量的來源,擁有自我行事的規則;而我們卻像Elena,一開始都是空心人,依靠電影,書籍和他人的生命體驗纔得以完整自己,我們都需要從這個世界汲取能量以供自我生存。
评分實在等不及中譯本隻好看英譯本瞭。看前麵百分之八十都有一種坐在公交車上被迫聽旁邊的老奶奶絮絮叨叨迴憶她年輕的時候的故事的感覺,隻是英譯本比之前中譯本語言錶達更直接更情緒化。講lina那段會聯想到萊辛的金色筆記,革命青年的混亂生活,lina與Enzo的相處狀態不太現實,Lina作為一個叛逆的自我形象有些理想化。冗長的婚姻生活的鋪陳就是為瞭最後情感纍積的爆發,最後幾節纔是高潮,Elena寫齣軌比寫瞭一輩子齣軌的渡邊淳一都要好,說明瞭一個簡單而又樸素的道理,for man,to load pleasure with responsibility was an error.
