ReviewsPraise for Elena Ferrante and The Neapolitan Novels "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it." -The Boston Globe "Ferrante's novels are intensely, violently personal, and because of this they seem to dangle bristling key chains of confession before the unsuspecting reader." - James Wood , The New Yorker "One of the more nuanced portraits of feminine friendship in recent memory." - Megan O'Grady , Vogue "Amazing! My Brilliant Friend took my breath away. If I were president of the world I would make everyone read this book. It is so honest and right and opens up heart to so much. Reading Ferrante reminded me of that child-like excitement when you can't look up from the page, when your eyes seem to be popping from your head, when you think: I didn't know books could do this!" - Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge "Elena Ferrante will blow you away." - Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones "Ferrante's emotional and carnal candor are so potent." - Janet Maslin , The New York Times "I like the Italian writer, Elena Ferrante, a lot. I've been reading all her work and all about her." - John Waters , actor and director ""Elena Ferrante tackles girlhood and friendship with amazing force."- Gwenyth Paltrow "Elena Ferrante may be the best contemporary novelist you've never heard of"- The Economist "[Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels] don't merely offer a teeming vision of working-class Naples, with its cobblers and professors, communists and mobbed-up businessmen, womanizing poets and downtrodden wives; they present one of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship." - John Powers , Fresh Air, NPR "Ferrante's freshness has nothing to do with fashion…it is imbued with the most haunting music of all, the echoes of literary history." - The New York Times Book Review "Elena Ferrante's THE STORY OF A NEW NAME, book two in her Naples series. Two words. Read it." - Ann Hood , author of The Obituary Writer "Ferrante writes with a ferocious, intimate urgency." - Susanna Sonnenberg , author of Her Last Death: A Memoir " The Days of Abandonment is a powerful, heartrending novel." - Jhumpa Lahiri, author of The Lowlands "I am such a fan of Ferrante's work, and have been for quite a while." - Jennifer Gilmore , author of The Mothers "No one has a voice quite like Ferrante's. Her gritty, ruthlessly frank novels roar off the page with a barbed fury, like an attack that is also a defense…Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are." - John Freeman , The Australian "The women's fraught relationship and shifting fortunes are the life forces of the poignant book" - Publisher's Weekly "An engrossing, wildly original contemporary epic about the demonic power of human (and particularly female) creativity checked by the forces of history and society." - The Los Angeles Review of Books, "Reading Ferrante reminded me of that child-like excitement when you can't look up from the page, when your eyes seem to be popping from your head, when you think: I didn't know books could do this!"-Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge "[Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels] don't merely offer a teeming vision of working-class Naples, with its cobblers and professors, communists and mobbed-up businessmen, womanizing poets and downtrodden wives; they present one of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship."-John Powers, Fresh Air, NPR "Elena Ferrante's THE STORY OF A NEW NAME, book two in her Naples series. Two words. Read it."-Ann Hood, author of The Obituary Writer "No one has a voice quite like Ferrante's. Her gritty, ruthlessly frank novels roar off the page with a barbed fury, like an attack that is also a defense…Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are."-John Freeman "Ferrante's freshness has nothing to do with fashion…it is imbued with the most haunting music of all, the echoes of literary history."- The New York Times Book Review, Praise for Elena Ferrante and the Neapolitan Novels "A large, captivating, amiably peopled bildungsroman."--James Wood, The New Yorker "One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship."--John Powers, NPR's Fresh Air "Elena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time."--Roxana Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "Compelling, visceral and immediate...The Neapolitan novels are a tour de force."--Jennifer Gilmore, The Los Angeles Times "It took my breath away...so honest and right and opens up heart to so much."--Elizabeth Strout, writer "The Neapolitan novel cycle is an unconditional masterpiece."--Jhumpa Lahiri, writer "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it."--Eugenia Williamson, The Boston Globe "Ferrante's own writing has no limits, is willing to take every thought forward to its most radical conclusion and backwards to its most radical birthing."--The New Yorker "One of the more nuanced portraits of feminine friendship in recent memory."--Megan O'Grady, Vogue "It's just hypnotic. I could not stop reading it or thinking about it."--Hillary Clinton "Ferrante tackles girlhood and friendship with amazing force."--Gwyneth Paltrow, actor "Ferrante's writing seems to say something that hasn't been said before in a way so compelling its readers forget where they are, abandon friends and disdain sleep."--Joanna Biggs, The London Review of Books "Ferrante has written about female identity with a heft and sharpness unmatched by anyone since Doris Lessing."--Elizabeth Lowry, The Wall Street Journal "No one has a voice quite like Ferrante's. Her gritty, ruthlessly frank novels roar off the page with a barbed fury, like an attack that is also a defense...Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are."--John Freeman, writer "When I read the Neapolitan novels I find that I never want to stop."--Molly Fischer, The New Yorker "Dazzling...stunning...an extraordinary epic."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Spectacular."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "What words do you save? Here's your chance to bring them out, like the silver for the wedding of the first-born: genius, tour de force, masterpiece. They apply to the work of Elena Ferrante...her magnificent Neapolitan quartet seems to me to be the greatest achievement in fiction of the post-war era."--Charles Finch, The Chicago Tribune "We are dealing with masterpieces here, old-fashioned classics, filled with passion and pathos...The sheer power of her books is a challenge to the chilly, dour craftsmanship of too many 21st century literary novels."--Joe Klein, TIME Magazine "The saga is both comfortingly traditional and radically fresh, it gives readers not just what they want, but something more than they didn't know they craved...through this fusion of high and low art, Ms. Ferrante emerges as a 21st-century Dickens."--The Economist "Ferrante's accomplishment in these novels is to extract an enduring masterpiece from dissolving margins, from the commingling of self and other, creator and created, new and old, real and whatever the opposite of real may be...Ferrante's voice is very much her own, but its force is communal."--Judith Shulevitz, The Atlantic "Ferrante adumbrates the mysterious beauty and brutality of personal experience."--Rachel Cusk, The New York Times Book Review

And yet, they are still very much bound to each other in a book that "shows off Ferrante's strong storytelling ability and will leave readers eager for the final volume of the series" ( Library Journal ). "One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship." -- NPR, Set in the late 1960s and the 1970s, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay continues the story of the feisty and rebellious Lina and her lifelong friend, the brilliant and bookish Elena. Lina, after separating from her husband, is living with her young son in a new neighborhood of Naples and working at a local factory. Elena has left Naples, earned a degree from an elite college, and published a novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned and fascinating interlocutors. The era, with its dramatic changes in sexual politics and social costumes, with its seemingly limitless number of new possibilities, is rendered with breathtaking vigor. This third Neapolitan Novel is not only a moving story of friendship but also a searing portrait of a rapidly changing world. Since the publication of My Brilliant Friend, the first of the Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante's fame as one of today's most compelling, insightful, and stylish authors has grown. She has gained admirers among authors, artists, and critics. But her most resounding success has undoubtedly been with readers, who have discovered in Ferrante a writer who speaks with great power and beauty of the mysteries of belonging, human relationships, love, family, and friendship.
