Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet reviewed

A reader shares reflections on the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante, specifically focusing on the final installment, ‘The Story Of The Lost Child’. The reader notes that after starting the series with ‘My Brilliant Friend’ in 2019, they chose to read the quartet slowly over several years.

The review highlights that the final book does not provide the expected clarity regarding the characters' lives, leaving the reader with more questions than when they began. The series, published by Europa Editions, has previously received recognition through nominations for the BTBA Best Translated Book Award, the Premio Strega, the Australian Book Industry Award, and the International Booker Prize.
