Troubling Love: The first novel by the author of My Brilliant Friend
Elena Ferrante
"A deeply observed, excruciatingly blunt novel."-The New Yorker
"The raging, tormented voice of the author is something rare."-The New York Times
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 fiction 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.
