Although I found Book 3 to be dark and Elena Greco to be self-absorbed and subsequently self-destructive this book was memorizing. Taking a 24 hour break before beginning Book 4. This book does provide a reader with an accurate portrayal of the Women's LiberationMovement. Since I am an American, I have appreciated learning in depth about the Italian post WWII political history.

Beautiful simple book and matching narration

Book 3 is just as fascinating as the first two. The narrator is perfect for this story. I can’t wait to hear the final book.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first 2. Whereas as a child and young adult, the development of Elena's character and her relationship with Lila were very strong and fulfilling, Elena was disappointing as an adult. She complains a lot and comes across as whiney and weak. Why would she still want to be with Nino? I didn't respect her for that. He was a jerk. I will finish the series, but I hope that the last book is better than this one. This one dragged on way too long.

One of the best in this series. Narrator is great, as always.

Addictive storyline. Well narrated with appropriate punctuation and emotion .

I can't get enough of Ferrante's writing. Each of the Neapolitan novels is more enthralling than the last.

Third in a series, this book does not disappoint. The translation is done exceptionally well. The cultural and social elements are intriguing. These novels have consumed me.
