ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante, continues the story of a complex friendship between Elena and Lila, two women from a poor neighborhood in Naples. The novel explores their diverging paths as they navigate the challenges of adulthood, marriage, and motherhood, as well as political and social changes. Elena pursues intellectual and literary aspirations while Lila's life takes a different turn as she faces challenges in factory work. The narrative delves into themes of social class, female identity, and the search for personal fulfillment. The novel examines the power of words and the struggle for female expression, particularly in Elena's journey as a writer, and the challenges she faces trying to balance her creative work with her personal life. The friendship is tested as both women develop their own identities, and try to find their own place in the world.
