Synopsis

In Naples in the early 1990s, twelve-year-old Giovanna Trada overhears her father Andrea disparagingly liken her appearance to that of his estranged sister Vittoria. This sends Giovanna into a search for Vittoria on another side of Naples to discover the nature of the family's fallout.

Publication

The novel was first published in Italy in November 2019 by Edizioni e/o, published as part of their Dal Mondo series.[3] An English translation by Ann Goldstein was scheduled to be published by Europa Editions on 9 June 2020, but was postponed to 1 September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][6][7] The English translation debuted at number two on The New York Times fiction best-seller list.[8]

Reception

In its starred review, Kirkus Reviews praised Goldstein's "fluid" translation and wrote, "Giovanna's nascent sexuality is more frankly explored than that of previous Ferrante protagonists".[9]

Publishers Weekly called Giovanna a "winning character" but nonetheless wrote that the novel "feels minor in comparison to Ferrante's previous work".[10]

A review in The New York Times stated that the book "evokes for me all the ordinary, warring paradoxes of intimate life."[11]
