Staff Reviews

In this perfect Sequel, we follow Lila and Lenu to the ocean in Ischia. This one is full of juicy drama and of course juicier writing. Oh, and did I mention Nino is back?

— Maci Z

You know, everyone was right. I found myself saying what everyone says when they read Ferrante. This installment is the juiciest, and the one that began taking over my life for the foreseeable future.

— Darcie

Description

The Story of a New Name follows Elena Ferrante's critically acclaimed My Brilliant Friend, featuring Lila and Elena. The two protagonists are now in their twenties, and marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila. Meanwhile, Elena continues her journey of self-discovery. These young women share a complex and evolving bond that brings them close at times while driving them apart at others. Each vacillates between hurtful disregard and profound love for the other. With this complicated and meticulously portrayed friendship at the center of their emotional lives, the two girls mature into women, paying the sometimes cruel price that this passage exacts.
