THE NEW YORK TIMES' BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY 18M copies of Elena Ferrante's books sold worldwide Stunning the raging, torrential voice of the author is something rare. The New York Times THE BREAK-OUT NOVEL BY THE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF MY BRILLIANT FRIEND Rarely have the foundations upon which our ideas of motherhood and womanhood rest been so candidly questioned. This compelling novel tells the story of one womans headlong descent into what she calls an absence of sense after being abandoned by her husband. Olgas days of abandonment become a desperate, dangerous freefall into the darkest places of the soul as she roams the empty streets of a city that she has never learned to love. When she finds herself trapped inside the four walls of her apartment in the middle of a summer heat wave, Olga is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal again.Ferrante puts hammer to flesh and invites her reader to penetrate the page.

"Elena Ferrante is a Hypnotist." * The Spectator * "This is sharp, vicious, dark and it completely took me aback." * Foyles * "Visceral, dizzying, terrifying - this slim book does more in 192 pages than most in double that." * Verso's Best Books of 2015 * Ferrante puts hammer to flesh and invites her reader to penetrate the page. * Financial Times * Extraordinary. * The London Review of Books * Elena Ferrante will blow you away. -- Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones Her novels are intensely, violently personal, and because of this they seem to dangle bristling key chains of confession before the unsuspecting reader. -- James Wood, The New Yorker Stunning the raging, torrential voice of the author is something rare. -- The New York Times
