Elena Ferrante is the author of The Days of Abandonment (Europa,
2005), Troubling Love (Europa, 2006), The Lost Daughter (Europa,
2008), and the international best-selling Neapolitan Quartet. She
is also the author of Frantumaglia: A Writer's Journey; a
children's picture book illustrated by Mara Cerri, The Beach at
Night, and, most recently, a collection of essays entitled
Incidental Inventions (Europa, 2019).
Ann Goldstein is one of the most accomplished translators from the
Italian working today. Best known for her translations of Elena
Ferrante's oeuvre, she has also translated novels by Primo Levi,
Pierpaolo Pasolini and many more.
"Elena Ferrante’s novels have a driving and unconventional
narrative power that has gripped readers across a wide cultural
range...the last of the quartet The Story of the Lost Child, which
has just been longlisted for the Man Booker International prize, is
the best."
*Margaret Drabble, The Guardian*
"This final book in Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet brings a
phenomenal literary enterprise to an arresting conclusion."
*The Sunday Times*
"A tribute to feminism and female friendship in mid-20th-century
Naples."
*The Economist*
"The final installation of her Neapolitan quartet, was every bit as
sinister and compelling as its predecessors, a vivid and haunting
portrait of female friendship that confirms Ferrante as one of the
masters of her craft."
*Alex Preston, The Guardian*
"The first work worthy of the Nobel prize to have come out of Italy
for many decades."
*The Observer*
