Publisher's summary

Following her mother's untimely and mysterious death, Delia embarks on a voyage of discovery through the streets of her native Naples searching for the truth about her family. A series of mysterious telephone calls leads her to compelling and disturbing revelations about her mother's final days.

This stylish novel from the author of The Days of Abandonment is set in a beguiling but often hostile Naples, whose chaotic, suffocating streets become one of the book's central motifs. A story about mothers and daughters and the complicated knot of lies and emotions that binds them, it is a must-listen.

Another beautiful novel by Ferrante

Mesmerizing novel, beautifully written and narrated. Loved it as all Ferrante novels. Very highly recommended.

Not so much

Unlike the audio versions of the 4 Neapolitan ( my Brilliant Friend) novels and the subsequent The Lying Life of Adults this book read like one long whine. The narrators monotone voice sounded as if she were bored of and annoyed by the very story she relayed. I’ll try the hard copy in the hope that I can experience some of the dialectic nuance that the author is known for as well as a genuine range of emotion entirely lacking in the narration of this book.

Disappointed

I loved "My Brilliant Friend", and wanted to listen to more, but very disappointed in this title.

Horrible

Read the Neopolitan series and love it but this, in short, was the worst book I’ve ever read.

Too boring

Painfully uninteresting, making it a real challenge to finish. I admire the author so I was surprised to see her write such a disappointing book.
