The novel begins by following the two child protagonists, and then teenagers, through the scenes of a miserable neighborhood in the Neapolitan suburbs, among a crowd of minor characters accompanied along their path with careful assiduity. The author delves into the complex nature of the friendship between two little girls, between two young girls, between two women, following their individual growth, the way they influence each other, the good and bad feelings that nurture over the decades a true, robust relationship. It then narrates the effects of the changes sweeping the neighborhood, Naples, Italy, over more than fifty years, transforming the friends and their bond. And all of this rushes onto the page with the pace of great folk narratives, dense and at the same time fast, deep and mild, continually overturning situations, revealing characters' secret bottoms, summing up event after event without respite, but with the depth and power of voice to which the author has accustomed us. This is the kind of book that does not end. Or, to put it better, the author completes the narrative of Lila and Elena's childhood and adolescence in this first novel, but leaves us on the threshold of major new changes that are about to disrupt their lives and their very intense relationship.
