The Lying Life of Adults
-- A POWERFUL NEW NOVEL set in a divided Naples by ELENA FERRANTE, the -- The Lying Life of AdultsGiovanna'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 MagazineA MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2020The New York Times Book Review·Harper's Bazaar·BBC Culture
