But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection and a life she can claim as her own? Giovanna’s search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. Adrift, she vacillates between these two cities, falling into one then climbing back to the other. Set in a divided Naples, The Lying Life of Adults is a singular portrayal of the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER “This is no amiable coming-of-age tale… the most intense writing about the experiences and interior life of a girl on the cusp of adulthood that I have ever read. It is brilliant.”—The Financial Times “An astonishing, deeply moving tale.”—The Guardian “Ferrante confronts female sexual awakening with such an absence of romantic enchantment it leaves you gasping.”—The Daily Mail WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: “Brilliant as always.”—Jan on Amazon “A tightly crafted and gripping story.”—Maxwell on Goodreads “Excellent book. My only complaint was that it ended too soon!”—Mhairi on Amazon “I woke up eagerly looking forward to reading more of this novel every single day.”—Violet on Goodreads “Fans of Elena Ferrante will not be disappointed.”—Lesley on Amazon THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Soon to be adapted into a NETFLIX original series 18M OF ELENA FERRANTE'S BOOKS SLOD WORLDWIDE BBC2's Between The Covers Book Club "I'm not fibbing when I say it's a smash hit." -Sara Cox "A brilliantly complex coming of age story."- Rachel Parris "A fist of a book." -Rob Delaney "It’s sumptuous." - Vick Hope "I love Vittoria. I’d love to meet her." - Rick Stein“Ferrante illuminates the intricacies and subtle moments of growing up that suddenly make you who you are before you know it. Being in Giovanna's skin, inhabiting such raw adolescent feelings as she faces her own autonomy and agency, sexism, and classism, was a savage, raw confrontation of life in its fullness.” Review Quote"Modern, urgent, truthful." Review Quote"Elena Ferrante is an expert chronicler of adolescence and its many indignities, as well as its erratic, overwhelming passions." Review Quote"Ferrante is unbeatable at pulling you inside the mind of a teenage girl, making you see how everything that looks irrational from the outside - the moods, the silences, the jealousy, tears, fears and resentments - are utterly logical and reasonable." Review Quote“Layer by layer, piece by piece, with her customary deftness, Ferrante builds up her story, introducing new characters and bits of information, as Giovanna’s once safe and sane world becomes ever more slippery…. Ferrante has a voice very much her own.” Review Quote“The most intense writing about the experiences and interior life of a girl on the cusp of adulthood that I have ever read.” Key Selling Points • Over 13 million copies of the Neapolitan Quartet sold worldwide • The hardback was picked in best fiction of 2020 round-ups by Guardian, Sunday Times, Financial Times, The Independent, The Bookseller among others • A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller charting across various international markets • SUPER LEAD TITLE of the summer, major promotional campaign Target readership • Fans of Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet • Readers of great contemporary literature Review Quote“Exqu Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
