In her novel The Lying Life of Adults**, Elena Ferrante plunges into the depths of adolescence and the transition to adulthood, through the restless gaze of Giovanna, a Neapolitan teenager who faces family secrets, social contradictions and the discovery of her own identity. A dense and unsettling narrative, where masks fall and truth is laid bare, revealing much more than the apparently quiet life of Neapolitan families.
After this literary and gastronomic journey into Ferrante’s world, the next book of the club Books to Eat will be presented: Oblivion: A Memoir (Somos o Esquecimento que Seremos) by Héctor Abad Faciolince.
