Following the fortunes of an adolescent girl through changing family dynamics and growing self-realization, The Lying Life of Adults is Elena Ferante’s dissection of Italian family life and the follies of youth.
Giovanna moves between 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. Whether high or low, the city seems to offer no answer and no escape. Translated by Ann Goldstein.
