Translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein Read by Hillary Huber The incredible story continues in book three of the critically acclaimed Neapolitan novels! In this third Neapolitan novel, Elena and Lila have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son she has left her husband and the comforts of marriage and now works as a laborer. Elena has earned her college degree and published a successful novel, 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 and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the 1970s. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.
