The story of a new name: Book two Youth

Ferrante, Elena (author.). Goldstein, Ann, 1949- (translator.).

Summary: In 'The Story of a New Name' Lila has recently married and made her entree into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues with her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighbourhood she so often finds stifling. Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment and above all friendship: these are the signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories. Marriage appears to have imprisioned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and is a source of strength in the face of life's challenges. - book jacket
