Dana Stevens:
I tore through Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan tetralogy in a mad rush — and then, as the fourth book drew to a close, slowed the pace to make the experience last. These page-turning novels of ideas took me to that rare place where the demands of the outside world seem like little more than an elaborate conspiracy to keep you away from your book.
