About this listen
The follow-up to My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name continues the epic New York Times bestselling literary quartet that has inspired an HBO series, and returns us to the world of Lila and Elena, who grew up together in post-WWII Naples, Italy.
In The Story of a New Name, Lila has recently married and made her entrée into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighborhood that she so often finds stifling. Marriage appears to have imprisoned 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 a source of strength in the face of life’s challenges.
In these Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante, “one of the great novelists of our time” (New York Times), gives us a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging, a meditation on love and jealousy, freedom and commitment—at once a masterfully plotted page-turner and an intense, generous-hearted family saga.

Ferrante Fever!
I finally am getting the hang of the Ferrante Fever. This is such a true, raw, real portrayal of a friendship and, a community and lays bare human emotions. Brilliant storytelling and amazing narration. Thank you!

Surpasses the first book - Vast & thoughtful
The second book of the Neapolitan novels surpasses the first! A profound story of the two girls as they come of age, one trapped in a loveless abusive marriage seeking new forms of comfort, and the other in pursuit of knowledge and social approval. It is vast and more political than the first and emotionally charged. Definitely looking forward to reading the next one. The narrator is very good.

Can’t stop listening
Amazing story. I don’t know if this is a true story of the author. But it seems like a true story. The description of the characters the emotions and feelings. I learnt so much about different kinds of people.
