ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante continues the intricate story of Elena Greco and Lila Cerullo as their lives take increasingly different paths. Elena pursues her education with success, eventually publishing a novel and becoming engaged, while Lila navigates the harsh realities of working-class life in Naples, becoming involved in factory work and activism. The novel delves into the lasting impact of their childhood, the divergent social and economic circumstances that shape their adult experiences, and the complex and evolving nature of their enduring friendship. It explores themes of ambition, social mobility, political awakening, and the challenges of female identity within a changing Italian society, all without revealing their ultimate destinies.
