Giovanna’s pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, is looking more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Will she turn out like her despised Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father have spent their whole lives avoiding and deriding? There must be a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is.

Description
Here is the dazzling saga of two women: the brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults; many of life's great discoveries have been made, its vagaries and losses have been suffered. Through it all, the women's friendship has remained the gravitational center of their lives. Both women once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up - a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received novels. In this final book, she has returned to Naples.
Lila, on the other hand, never succeeded in freeing herself from the city of her birth. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity to the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Nearness to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief. For Lila is unstoppable, unmanageable, and unforgettable.
Against the backdrop of a Naples that is as seductive as it is perilous, the story of a lifelong friendship is told with unmatched honesty and brilliance. The four volumes in this series constitute a long, remarkable story that listeners will return to again and again, and every return will bring with it new revelations.

This book is rhythmic! Poetic! Sensual !
I loved this quartet. This is the last book and I never want it to end. The descriptions of lives lived mostly in Naples is beyond compelling. I now must visit and walk the streets and see the sites. It’s hard to believe that these books are translated from Italian. Bravo to everyone. And a special mention to Hilary Huber. Her ability to become the voices of so many of the characters is awesome. I have recommended these books to all my friends.

Challenging But What a Journey!
I started listening to this series of books starting in 2016 and I can’t believe it’s taken me over 6 years to finish. I don’t know that I love the books but they have had a profound effect on me: and this one is perhaps the most challenging. Lila and Lenu have become like relatives for me: maddening, wonderful and I have a love/hate relationship with them — the way they seem to have had with each other. There’s moments in the book that gutted me, that were too true and other times where I couldn’t bear to listen for weeks at a time. But now the journey has ended and I feel like these books will be part of me in a way that I never expected. I’m not sure I will re-read/re-listen, but I don’t think I will ever forget either.

Enthralling
I was completely enthralled by this story. The characters felt alive to me as I journeyed through their lives. I felt like i knew them and when it was over I found myself missing Elena and Lila. Their friendship was complex and beautiful and fascinating.

Best of the four
This was kind of a hard series to get through. The books are long and there are a lot of characters to keep track of. But this last one was the best of the four. This one tells the story of Elena and Lila in their 30s into their late 50s. Their children grow up, their relationships change, success finds and eludes them. It shows the ways they mend the breaks in their friendship, and it finally gives more insight into Lila and explains, at least to me, more of why Elena and everyone else seemed so enamored with her. For as much as I've complained about the length of the series, this one leaves me wanting more.

Incredible Series
This amazing series about the friendship of two women is not to be missed. Yes, it's long but well worth your time. I believe that most women can relate to these two women's friendship which actually isn't too friendly at times. ...can you relate? I'm so happy I listened to this intriguing story.

Possibly the best books I've ever read
I've just finished all four of these beautiful books and I think I'm going to start all over again. What an incredibly moving, terrifying, wonderful and heart wrenching story.
As well, Hillary Huber should narrate all audio books she's so fabulous.

A stunning series - without equal.
I hesitated to start this series because I thought it would be too light. I was wrong. The 4 books together have an emotional heft that's hard to describe. They provide a glimpse of life that's brutally honest.
From the reviews, everyone already knows this is a series about two women friends. And it is. But it's also about expectations, potential, loss, families, drive, intelligence and insanity. They're BIG books in every way. When I wasn't listening, I thought about the characters and couldn't wait to get back to them. Yet, it's not all goodness and moonbeams. I was reminded about some tough times and rocky relationships -- and found new insights about much of it.
The narration suited the books perfectly for me. I needed that calm delivery and it never felt like it was a performance.
Perhaps more than anything, I appreciate Ferrante's ability to wrap things up. Though I've missed the characters terribly since I finished, I really felt like it was done. No loose threads. It's a remarkable achievement.

hard to listen to<br />
I have absolutely loved each in this series until this one. At certain points it was hard to pay attention. it seemed the author kept droning on and on about nothing just to fill pages. some to ex it seemed like a rant from a not too same person.

My 1st Complete Lit. Syncopation by Female Author
This review relates primarily to the entire 4 book series. If you are reading this, and haven't read 1-3, just know that the author intended all 4 to be read as one novel; none stands alone as particularly spectacular. As a whole, they are the best bildungsroman of a writer that I can recall.
Ms. Ferrante has intrigued me in my reading experiences as has no other female author or has just about any male writer. I imagine Charlotte Bronte would have written such brilliant, introspective, perceptive and at times sexually provocative prose if the style had been around way back then. For some reason, I've just not connected on such a personal, human level with Woolf or superb female authors out there, past and present.
Ms. Ferrante struck me so personally (though not necessarily so profoundly) that I can't help but thinking again of a sentence I read in the reviews of this book that I wished I'd first written to describe the Neapolitan novels :
"The depth of perception Ms. Ferrante shows about her characters' conflicts and psychological states is astonishing.... Her novels ring so true and are written with such empathy that they sound confessional." Wall Street J.
I'll also add these 2 blurbs as really fitting from my point of view:
'If you haven't read Elena Ferrante, it's like not having read Flaubert in 1856...Incontrovertibly brilliant." National Post.
‘The older you get, the harder it is to recapture the intoxicating sense of discovery that comes when you first read George Eliot, Nabokov, Tolstoy or Colette. But this year it came again when I read Elena Ferrante’s remarkable Neapolitan novels." New Statesman.
I was dazzled and allured by the female intelligence and wit of Ms. Ferrante's writing, which never surrendered to the"sappers of suspended disbelief": the syrupy, overly sentimental, melodramatic, overdramatic, verbose, obscure, esoteric, arcane, pleonastic or the plain hogwash.
I think this was a fitting conclusion to the 4-part novel. Though I'm still mystified by the human psyche of the female drawing them to men who will hurt them.
Ms. Ferrante's prose is so refreshingly honest and real and compelling. I felt at times as if Ms. Ferrante was my friend telling me her story and I kept wanting her to talk and talk. More more... go on,.... uh huh, and?... what about....

Lenu's making peace with herself
What did you love best about The Story of the Lost Child?
I doubt that I loved anything the best...except that this is probably the best of 4 books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Lenu, her trials and tribulations, even though she is annoyingly "naive" at times , she fights to be true to herself, in so much "evil" around her
What does Hillary Huber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her "sing song" voice that has an italian tempo to it like the spoken language
If you could take any character from The Story of the Lost Child out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Lila....I would like to see if she is truly as beautiful a woman as Lenu describes her, I actually find her to be evil and jealous and cold, but maybe honestly a true product of Naples in those times...
Any additional comments?
I read (LISTENED) to all 4 books of the Neapolitan Novels. I find the popularity and high ratings to be highly "overated"!!! Yes, it describes a "friendship" over 50 years, but why in 4 volumes? I found it tiresome and dragged out, so much evil, anger, lack of love and respect for one another. Yes it gives an interesting and correct description of society, people and their lives in Italy in those years...why in 4 books??

Story takes an odd turn
After the slow buildup of the previous books, this one takes some sudden melodramatic turns and ends rather abruptly. I found it a bit disappointing after all the hours I've invested in the series. The narrator as always does a good job.
