Having read one you will want to read them all. It tells the story of a sixty–year friendship between the brilliant and bookish Elena Greco (our narrator) and the fiery rebellious Lila Cerullo with unmatched honesty and brilliance. These amazing reads are a saga about female friendship set against a background of a poor neighbourhood on the outskirts of Naples in the 1950s and winds its way through the lives of the characters. The series has sold over 10 million copies in 40 countries. In an interview for the Harper's Magazine, Elena Ferrante stated that she considers the four books to be "a single novel", published serially for reasons of length and duration. The series has been characterized as a coming-of-age story. They include the following novels: My Brilliant Friend (2012), The Story of a New Name (2013), Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (2014), and The Story of the Lost Child (2015). The Neapolitan Novels are a four-part series by the Italian author Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann Goldstein and published by Europa Editions (New York).
