Storia della bambina perduta
"My whole life has been a vulgar struggle to rise in social status."The world's bestsellers have sold nearly 10 million copies and have been translated into more than 40 languages, including "My Brilliant Friend," "The Story of a New Name," and "Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay."
The Neapolitan Quartet NO.4 has an irresistible ending that explores the ultimate shaping of a person through friendship. "The Lost Child" is the fourth part of the "Neapolitan Quartet". The novel focuses on the prime and old age of Lila and Elena ("I"), and puts a heartbreaking end to their friendship that has lasted for more than fifty years.
For love and writing, I left my husband and returned to Naples with my two daughters, inevitably becoming close again with Lila and the city I had once wanted to escape. Lila and I even became pregnant and gave birth in the same year, and experienced the horrific and brutal Naples earthquake. Everything fell apart, and everything will be rebuilt.
I was unknowingly drawn into Lila's secret plan—she hoped to use my fame and writing skills to fight against the stale and rampant evil forces in the city. But after experiencing the most terrifying blow in her life, Lila chose to completely exile herself in the city in a weird and exaggerated way.
And I will face failures in writing, love, and family with astonishing resilience and honesty. After years of self-doubt, I decide to disobey (ignore?) Lila's warning and write a novel about my lifelong friendship with her, but it only leads to the deepest betrayal...
