The lying life of adults - Elena Ferrante Editori EO

Description

Book in Italian.

«Two years before leaving home my father told my mother that I was very ugly. The sentence was pronounced in a low voice, in the apartment that, as soon as they were married, my parents had purchased in the Rione Alto, at the top of San Giacomo dei Capri. Everything - the spaces of Naples, the blue light of a freezing February, those words - remained still. I, on the other hand, slipped away and continue to slip even now, inside these lines that want to give me a story while in fact I am nothing, nothing of mine, nothing that has really begun or has really reached completion: just a tangle that no one, not even whoever is writing at this moment knows whether it contains the right thread of a story or is just a tangled pain, without redemption."
