À propos de cet audio

 Soon to be a NETFLIX Original Series.

A POWERFUL NEW NOVEL set in a divided Naples by ELENA FERRANTE, the New York Times best-selling author of My Brilliant Friend and The Lost Daughter.

“There’s no doubt [the publication of The Lying Life of Adults] will be the literary event of the year.”—Elle

Giovanna’s pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, looks more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Is she turning into Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father clearly despise? Surely there is a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is.

Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: a Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and a Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves between both in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape.

Named one of 2016’s most influential people by TIME Magazine and frequently touted as a future Nobel Prize-winner, Elena Ferrante has become one of the world’s most read and beloved writers. With this novel about the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Ferrante proves once again that she deserves her many accolades. In The Lying Life of Adults, listeners will discover another gripping, highly addictive, and totally unforgettable Neapolitan story.

like others, I really didn't like the narrator. she narrates in a weird fake italian accent and I honestly wouldve felt more connected to the main character if she didn't make her sound so indignant and annoying. I almost stopped the book right away because of it. overall, this book was good, but not as good as her other books

narrator is not great

story was thought provoking, emotions were felt, the plot line was abit dry at times, but worth it overall for the power of the narrative! Tomei made the story for me, and I would recommend audible over reading this one

Amazing performance

Story was delightful. Elena Ferrante’s poignant description of Napoli & Milano was on point. Performance by Marisa Tomei was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Great
