Portraying life in 1950s Naples through the lives of friends Elena and Lila, the books have been a literary sensation, appearing on the New York Times ‘Best 10 books of 2015’ list and drawing admirers as far-flung as James Franco. The novels depict the close relationship of the two women amid a backdrop of radical feminism and corruption.
