Books by Elena Ferrante

Elena Ferrante is the pseudonym of an Italian novelist whose identity has never been publicly confirmed. Her Neapolitan quartet — My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and The Story of the Lost Child — sold millions of copies worldwide and is widely considered among the defining literary works of the early twenty-first century. She has also published The Days of Abandonment and Troubling Love. Her work is notable for its unflinching treatment of female interiority, class, and the violence embedded in ordinary life.
