Ferrante’s evocation of the working class district of Naples where they meet as two wiry eight-year-olds is cinematic in the density of its detail”-a sweeping family centred epic that encompasses issues of loyalty, love and a transforming Europe” (set in the fifties and the first of her “Neapolitan Novels”about these two girls growing up.)
