Das lügenhafte Leben der Erwachsenen

Giovanna's pretty face is changing. It is becoming ugly. At least that's what Giovanna's father thinks. He says she is becoming more and more like her aunt, his hated sister Vittoria, whom he always wanted to keep Giovanna away from. Giovanna is heartbroken, but she suddenly feels a magical attraction to this aunt. And she embarks on a quest that will shake all of their lives.

Elena Ferrante has created a masterpiece and written a poignant and beautiful novel: about the hypocrisies of parents, the breathlessness and confusions of youth, and the drama of growing up. About what it is like to be a girl and to become a woman.
